Annoying Ads From Your Phone

mediainggris.com - Some Android phones occasionally display ads on the home screen, lock screen, or within certain apps. The presence of these ads can sometimes cause discomfort for users.

Ads appearing on websites and Android apps serve as a source of revenue, yet a significant portion of these ads may carry harmful viruses.

In reality, these ads can be easily removed, for example by blocking them through the Chrome browser, the home screen, and wallpaper on your Android phone.

Here are the steps to remove ads on your Android phone:

Block Ads from the Home Screen
