How to Disable Ads While Playing My Talking Hank
1. Turn off Wi-Fi/mobile data or enable airplane mode
Ads in apps rely on data connections for distribution. Without a network connection, the code in the app cannot fetch and display ads. This leads to two scenarios. Firstly, most apps will completely stop displaying ads. Secondly, you'll see an empty banner where ads usually appear. In general, turning off Wi-Fi or mobile data is a quick and easy way to block ads in My Talking Hank and many other apps. Turning off the Internet also temporarily stops notifications that disrupt your gaming experience.
Another quick method is to enable airplane mode. Of course, using this method means you won't be able to use messaging apps and social networks like WhatsApp, Facebook, iMessage, Skype... Essentially, any app relying on an internet connection will temporarily be halted. In airplane mode, you also won't receive calls and messages.
So, is there a way to turn off ads while playing My Talking Hank while still using network-dependent apps? The answer is yes, and it's explained below.
2. Disable Internet to block ads for My Talking Hank on iPhone
Suppose you're waiting for an important call or message and, in the meantime, you take the opportunity to play the game, taking care of and chatting with the dog Hank. However, you don't want to be bothered by ads. Here's what you need to do. Note that this method only applies to iPhone:
Step 1: From the Control Center or Settings app, turn off Wi-Fi.
Step 2: Next, in the Settings app, tap on Mobile and enable Cellular Data.
Step 3: Scroll down in the list of installed apps on your iPhone, turn off My Talking Hank to prevent the app from using cellular data.
In other words, with this method, you turn off Wi-Fi and use cellular data, but prevent My Talking Hank from connecting to the network to avoid displaying ads in the game. Meanwhile, other apps and services on the iPhone can still connect to the internet through cellular data.
3. Use VPN/ad-blocking app
On the Android and iOS app stores, you can discover VPNs and ad-blocking apps like Luna for Android or AdGuard for iPhone, highly praised for their ad-blocking capabilities. AdGuard's free version limits Safari ads, while the Pro version blocks ads system-wide for apps and games. Consider downloading these apps to your device.

Among the shared methods for disabling ads while playing My Talking Hank, the first and second methods are the simplest as they don't require additional third-party app downloads. However, each method has its limitations, so choose the most suitable approach for yourself.
