Ads are among the most annoying notifications we receive from our smartphone apps, and Samsung is finally doing something to curb them.
We’re still a long way off from knowing everything that Samsung has in store for One UI 8.5, which will bring even more of Android 16’s newest features to Galaxy phones. However, as more One UI 8.5 feature leaks come out, we’re slowly pulling back the curtain. One of the latest rumors to drop points toward Samsung finally doing something about all the “advertisement” notification spam that some ads dish out.
This is something that I’ve personally struggled with since moving to my Galaxy S25 Ultra earlier this year, and it’s one thing I definitely miss about my iPhone. However, this latest leak from a tipster named Tarun Vats on X shows that Samsung could allow Galaxy users to block apps that continuously send out “excessive ads” in their notification pings.
