I recently received the update to Samsung Music. The ad at the top of the tracks list is really annoying and is unacceptable for my flagship phone. I don't want to use a music app with and ad. Is there any way to disable these ads?

I am using Samsung Music version 6.2.21.6 (on Galaxy S20+) without ads for a while. It is one version older than the most current version which is 16.2.22.20.

 

Ads on Weather App arrived recently, so irritating! I am starting to look into options. OnePlus has trade-in options for purchasing their phone. They accept multiple Samsung phones, but Galaxy S20 is not one of them currently.

Imagine if iPhones gave ads in their system app. The only ads iPhones have are subscription for their own in-house services, which makes sense. However on apps like weather, I constantly see ads for third-party nonsense news. In order for users who pay a premium for their smart phones, we expect an ad free experience for native, built-in apps for samsung devices! This includes other apps like samsung pay and samsung music, and others I may have missed! None of these apps are promoting Samsung Services either. What a broken ecosystem and false facade of a premium device!

Another post recently brought this up... not sure if it was you.

it would take much, much more than this for me to consider an iphone!!!

Samsung, for me, is so much better than an iphone!!! How long and how frequently does one look at a weather app. . once a day tops, and maybe 30 seconds each time...?

Use AdGuard private DNS ... Settings ... Connections ...More ... for "Private DNS" enter:
dns.adguard.com
... that will take care of ads system wide for all apps on the phone (including browsers) . Restart phone

if music is stored locally you could use Musicolet
