Are we accepting this now? I just plugged my phone sideways on a stand and I got ads. Nice Apple, thank you.
I’m as pro privacy and anti advertising as it gets, and your post is bad. You have a Smart Stack card on screen that is showing you articles from the news app, and another showing you App Store recommendations. it’s not an advertisement, iOS does not spam ads, just remove the Smart Stack, or remove the news app and AppStore from its feed.
Edited for clarity
By the way on the left its a picture I took, its my gallery. Never asked the iPhone to put my gallery there either. Or even asking to have this “smart stack” enabled…
You should probably get a flip phone my dude.
You should probably stop defending a trilion dollar company
That’s not an ad. It’s the App Store storefront. You have the App Store as a widget in standby mode. It did that because you may have recently used App Store.
All you have to do is hold your finger on it until you get into edit mode, and then tap the minus sign to remove it. More info here:
The feature appeared by itself i believe with the last iOS. I never set it up.
By the way, that’s an ad. You can call it appstore widget but its promoting apps. Before it was showing that cancer inducing “game” of clash royale and i never installed a game on my iPhone.
Anyway, the widget appeared by itself without asking me, and its primoting apps, that’s advertisement.
