Here’s how to use Samsung’s new tool to stop notification spam
Samsung has added a new feature that helps stop annoying apps from sending too many advertising notifications. If an app keeps sending promotional alerts, Samsung can automatically block it from bothering you with the “Block apps with excessive ads” feature.
This new tool helps stop apps from sending too many ad notifications. The feature does not block ads inside apps. It only works with notifications and helps reduce unwanted notifications from apps that send too many ads.
When Samsung detects an app sending lots of advertising notifications, it can place that app into Deep Sleep. Apps in Deep Sleep cannot run in the background, which helps stop those annoying alerts.
Notably, it offers two blocking options:
Basic Blocking
This option is turned on by default. Samsung uses its own data to find apps that are known for sending too many ad notifications and blocks them automatically.
Intelligent Blocking
It gives extra protection. It checks notifications in real time and can find new apps that are sending too many ads. It then blocks those apps automatically.
How to enable this feature:
- Open the Settings app on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
- Scroll down and tap Device Care.
- Tap the three dots in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings.
- Tap Block apps with excessive ads.
- Check that Basic Blocking is turned on and turn on Intelligent Blocking for stronger protection.
Once the feature is enabled, your phone will watch for apps that send too many ad notifications and automatically reduce them.
Aside from this, you can also check which apps were blocked. For that, open Settings >> Device Care >> Care Report >> Excessive Alerts. You can see here the apps that Samsung has moved to Deep Sleep because they were sending too many promotional notifications.
This new feature is a simple way to keep your Galaxy phone cleaner and quieter. By turning it on, you can enjoy fewer annoying ads and a better smartphone experience.
