Samsung finally started taking out its ads from its first-party mobile apps

As the company promised earlier this year, Samsung has begun taking out its ads from its first-party apps. And if the update made its way to you already, you won't see Samsung advertising things on Weather, Theme, and Health. Samsung Pay still gets a dedicated space for special offers, but it makes sense that the company retains that given what the app offers.

Now, if you still see ads on your Samsung device, you'll need to push through the update by using the force stop functionality in Android and then manually restart them.
