Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Advertisements are one of the things that are quite annoying for Android cellphone users. This is because advertisements like to appear suddenly (pop up) or accidentally click when using a cellphone.
If you feel that it is really annoying, there are actually certain ways to delete ads on Android. This can include blocking via the Chrome browser, home screen and wallpaper on any Android cellphone, including Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and others.
Here are some steps to block ads on Android phones:
Block Ads from Chrome
- Open Google Chrome in Android app
- Click the three dots menu on the top right side to open “Settings”
- Scroll down until you find “Site Settings”
- Select “Pop-ups and redirects” and scroll the toggle to enable blocking of pop-up ads
- Go back to “Site Settings” and select “Ads”
- Scroll to the right to activate the “Ads” toggle which prevents malicious advertisements from appearing.
Advertisements that appear on the home screen are certainly more annoying than advertisements in browsers and other applications. Ads on the home screen often appear due to installing ‘sneaky’ third party applications.
Block app ads
This application will create a trick so that users open permission to get advertisements on the home screen. To block it, see the following method.
- Press and hold the app icon and open the info menu that opens
- Scroll until you find the “Display over other apps” option
- Scroll to turn off the “Allow display over other apps” toggle
- If you don’t really need the party application, it’s best to just uninstall it.
Block ads from Wallpapers
The Glance wallpaper application is usually installed on low-end and mid-range Samsung and Xiaomi cellphones. This application aims to improve the cellphone lock screen experience by providing recommendations, news, and partnership content.
Well, partnership content often contains advertising. In fact, advertising content usually contains a larger portion. Here’s how to block it.
- Swipe up (swipe up) from the home screen to open the app drawer menu
- Select “Settings”
- Scroll to “Lock Screen”
- Go to “Wallpaper Services”
- Press the radio button next to “None”
To avoid the appearance of advertisements on Android phones, it is a good idea for users to limit downloading third party applications that are not clear. Apart from that, it’s a good idea to install paid applications so that ads don’t appear.
