You can stop Google ads on your Android device by following these steps:
1. Disable Personalized Ads:
- Open the Google Settings app on your Android device.
- Tap on Ads.
- Toggle off the Personalized ads option. This will prevent Google from using your personal data to target you with ads.
2. Use Ad Blockers:
- Install a third-party ad blocker app from the Google Play Store.
- Popular options include AdGuard, Blockada, and AdAway.
- These apps will block ads from appearing in various apps and websites.
3. Adjust App Settings:
- Some apps allow you to control the display of ads within their settings.
- Look for "Ads" or "Privacy" settings within the app.
- You may be able to disable ads entirely or choose to see fewer ads.
4. Use a VPN:
- A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can help to mask your IP address and browsing activity, making it more difficult for Google to track your online behavior.
- This may result in fewer targeted ads being displayed to you.
5. Reset Advertising ID:
- Open the Google Settings app.
- Tap on Ads.
- Scroll down and tap on Reset advertising ID.
- This will generate a new advertising ID, making it harder for Google to track you across different apps.
By implementing these steps, you can significantly reduce the number of Google ads you see on your Android device.
