No one likes ads on their premium phones, especially from a company like Samsung. Like Xiaomi & Oppo, in the past, Samsung also started to show ads in its pre-installed apps. Earlier this year, Samsung promised to remove advertisements from its default apps. Later, it removed ads from the weather app, and now, to continue its promise, it stopped showing ads in the Samsung Pay & Samsung Health app. The company has officially announced this news, and now users in South Korea can experience these two apps without ads.
Both of the default apps become messy due to overloaded ads, and it’s another example is the Weather app. In these apps, Samsung was showing ads at the top, middle, and bottom of the app. After heavy criticism from users as well as from tech experts, Samsung decided to remove ads. After all, users have paid over $1,999 to buy a device to get ad-free & uninterrupted services.
Here is the official statement from Samsung Health Manager at the Samsung community. Also, you can read users’ experiences after the removal of ads by visiting the source. Finally, the Samsung Themes is another service that will soon get an ad-free version.
