How To Remove Pop-up Ads on Your Samsung Device?

Are you seeing ads pop up on the lock screen, homepage, or inside apps on your Samsung devices? If so, this is caused by a third-party app. To get rid of those ads, you can either turn off that app or remove it from your Samsung phone altogether.

If the ads have only recently started showing up on your device, you can look at the apps you installed most recently from the Google Play Store and uninstall them one by one until the ads go away.

But if the ads have been there for a while, you can continue to read our guide to remove pop-up ads on your Samsung Device by changing a few settings to find out which app is causing the problem.
