Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

    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…

      Wake up at 11, swipe on your phone for an hour, finally get up and go to the toilet, pull out your phone again and take this screenshot. Voilà :)

    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.

      You won’t be able to disable that sort of things in most other phones, though. It’s not like China crap won’t push ads and Samsung has second best Android support after Fairphone.

    Samsung devices have become very ad-heavy. My first smart phone was a Galaxy S3 and I used to prefer their TVs, but forcing ads into everything has guaranteed I’ll never buy another Samsung phone or TV again.

        It’s so incredibly easy to disable, I’m not sure how people are justifying their phone choice based on the apps they have installed. It’s not part of the OS.
