    Some Samsung apps seem to be no longer showing ads (in some phones?)

    Posted: 02 Feb 2021 06:22 PM PST

    I have the Galaxy Fold 2 and the S21, both are the US unlocked models bought off of the Samsung store. I've noticed that on Fold 2, there seem to be no ads in certain apps such as Weather, and Samsung Health, but I do see the ads on my S21 (regular version). I don't know if this is a random test Samsung is doing or if they made an exception for their $2k Fold 2 phone. I honestly think few ads in certain apps are "okay" if aren't excessive and in your face. Even iPhone shows ads after all.

    Other things I've noticed:

    • Also, Samsung Pay ads seem less intrusive now. It's now its own module rather than a top banner, and the ads seem to be mostly special deals associated with Samsung which sort of make sense for a financial app.
    • Samsung Music also doesn't seem to have an ad as the very first track. So maybe Samsung is paying attention to our concerns.
    • Also on the S21, the new phone dialer app no longer has the "Places" tab which to me felt like an ad even though it wasn't an ad so I'm quite happy about that.

    Considering Samsung historically listened to us regarding update support, TouchWiz UI, Bixby button, Google now feed, and many other complaints, I do think Samsung will do something about the ads situation in the future.
