Samsung advertising new phone in my notifications

That’s really good anti-advertising.

Bro you're doing good, only 9993 steps to go

You have the Shop Samsung app installed. Uninstall it or disable notifications.

Samsung pushed an app in an update that plastered ads for charities all over my lock screen. Disabled that shit and my next phone isn't going to be a Samsung.

I like Android but man Samsung's version has always sucked

I'll literally never buy a Samsung phone again if these fuckers push ads to my device.

my previous samsung TV plastered a huge Doom Eternal AD into my settings panel...

my new samsung TV is not connected to the net, lol.

My PLex, Yotutube, Netflix goes through my NVidia shield.

TV comes from a box through a HDMI cable.

and Playstation is playstation.

0 need to connect that shit to the net

And that's why you only buy phones where you can install a custom ROM, and then kick any poisonous bloatware and google shit off before starting to use it.

I experienced this on my Galaxy Tab A7 (in India), a few years ago. Using Universal Android Debloater got rid of this.

This is so weird, I don't see ads anywher-

remembers that NextDNS is installed

Oh. Right.

I know this is completely unrelated, but I think I'd actually find it impossible to get to 11:50 in the day with only 7 steps. That's a one way trip to the toilet...

One way to make me consider a different brand then.

Samsung is like the Internet in the pop up ads days. Free yourself from that garbage.

Only 7 steps?

Yeah, South Korea is awful. I don't mean the people. They are getting the brunt of it, in fact.

Custom ROMs FTW... no, seriously, most samsung phones have support for at least some custom ROMs and GSIs so it might be worth it to take a look at the options available for your device

You sure this is coming from Samsung and not from a malicious app you have?

I really like Samsung phones, but oh boy, they are so bloated on default install it's unbearable. When I got my Samsung Galaxy A52, there were like 10 different things that wanted my attention on first boot, and I uninstalled most uninstallable Samsung apps straight away.

This sort of thing is what keeps me away from Samsung phones.

Awful... Should be illegal.

Is there a phone manufacturer that doesn't use their devices to shove more ads in your face? Google pushing Google One or Apple's preinstallwd watch app also come to mind

Samsung has gone full HP since about 5-10 years ago. They used to have awesome products, now it's just bloatware crap riding on customer goodwill that they built up over decades

If you don't want/can't flash a custom rom: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=samsung+adb+debloat but better search for a list for your modell and first disable before uninstall. Maybe need to install some main Apps first, like a launcher, use adb install app.apk otherwise.

Ugh I hate those ads. I had a OnePlus for a few years and forgot about all the bloat you get with a Samsung phone. Recently decided to go for a Samsung phone as the other options didn't seem much better. But now I keep getting ads from Google and Samsung in my notifications. I THINK I managed to disable some of it but it still keeps popping up once in a while.

Not justifying this in any way but the S9 hasn't received security updates in ages. It's the phone equivalent to still running Windows XP, it's a major security risk. You should upgrade to some newer phone. Personally I like the Pixels since you can run GrapheneOS which definitely doesn't have any ads and the newest models get updates for 7 years.

Samsung peaked at the S7

I just use adguard's DNS in my VPN on my phone.

you consented to them while setting up the phone.
also prompt to enable them is only present in the us and korea.

Wow, first the tv now the phone, i'm not surprised when someone come saying their fridge and washing machine is doing this too.

That's not new, they have been doing this for a while now. 1st noticed when the S10 series was launched.

I haven't seen that on my S10e; my carrier texts me about twice a year wanting me to upgrade because of course.

Trash company, throw it on the pile with all the other ad companies.

I'm happy that I never connected my TV to the internet.

Quite sure this is going to be Korea thing

I've been using the Galaxy A52s for a couple of years now. Never seen ads outside the Samsung apps. SEA region.

YOUR PHONE WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 10..9..8

Weird....I have been using Samsung phones for the past 4 years. I have never got such ads. I think you turned on the customization service or some other ad related thing. And ofcourse you can always debloat it. Ideally they should turn off customization service as default but since we live in a world of enshittification one can only dream.

Have you got the customisation service turned on in settings? I've never seen an ad in my notifications and until recently I was using a Samsung of similar age.

Maybe it's because I don't have a flagship Samsung model, but I'm lucky enough not to get ads for their products in my notifications. That, or it's because my service provider doesn't want Samsung advertising new phones, which is a very fat chance that's true.

7 steps!

Wow. That would make me rage so hard. But I have had galaxy phones since the 6, on 21 ultra now. I've never seen an ad there.

U lazy. U more walk. U no get ads anymore. Samsung just discipline u.

Man.. I tried to hit clear after looking at this for a second...

lineageos

I don't know about how well it supports Korean language though.

I gave up on Samsung after the exploding phone thing. I got enough problems

No thanks, i have one.
