Advertisements on Android phones are annoying and appear frequently, here's how to get rid of them

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Often, advertisements that suddenly appear on Android phones, such as on the main screen, lock screen, or in several applications, are often inappropriate and tend to be annoying.

However, these advertisements can actually be removed quite easily, for example by blocking them via the Chrome browser, home screen, or even the wallpaper on an Android phone.

Here's how to get rid of ads on an Android cellphone:

Block Ads from Chrome

– Open Google Chrome on Android app
– Click the three dots menu on the top right side to open “Settings”
– Scroll down until you find “Site Settings”
– Select “Pop-ups and redirects” and scroll the toggle to enable blocking of pop-up ads
– Go back to “Site Settings” and select “Ads”
Scroll to the right to activate the “Ads” toggle which prevents harmful advertisements from appearing

Block ads from Home Screen

Advertisements on the Home Screen usually appear due to installing third-party applications. If you don't really need the application, you can immediately uninstall or uninstall it.

To block it, here are the steps:

– Press and hold the application icon and open the info menu that opens
– Scroll until you find the “Display over other apps” option
– Scroll to turn off the “Allow display over other apps” toggle

Block Ads from Wallpaper

One of the ads comes from the Glance application. The application provides recommendations, news and partnership content.

It is partnership content that contains advertising and usually has a larger portion.

Here's how to block it:

– Swipe up from the home screen to open the app drawer menu
– Select “Settings”
– Scroll to “Lock Screen”
– Open “Wallpaper Services”
– Press the radio button next to “None”
