| How to Stop Ads on My Phone: Simple Steps to Remove Annoying Pop-Ups (2025) |
Have you ever opened your Android phone only to find annoying ads popping up everywhere — on your browser, lock screen, or even in notifications? These ads can be distracting, drain your data, and make your phone feel slow. In this guide, you’ll learn how to stop ads on your phone completely in 2025 — step by step.
Why Do Ads Appear on My Phone?
Most free apps, websites, and even some phone brands display ads as a way to earn revenue. Sometimes, though, your phone could have malware or unwanted apps that bombard you with pop-ups.
Steps to Stop Ads on Your Phone
Block Pop-Up Ads in Chrome
If you see ads only when browsing:
- Open Chrome
- Tap the three dots → Settings
- Go to Site Settings
- Tap Pop-ups and redirects → Turn Off
- Go back and tap Ads → Turn Off
This stops websites from showing intrusive ads.
Remove Suspicious or Unknown Apps
Some apps display ads even when you’re not using them:
- Open Settings → Apps
- Look for apps you don’t remember installing
- Tap and Uninstall
Tip: Avoid downloading apps outside the Google Play Store.
Disable Lock Screen Ads
Some brands like Tecno, Infinix, or Samsung use “Glance” or “Lockscreen Stories” to show ads:
- Go to Settings → Lock screen
- Look for Content or Wallpaper services
- Turn it Off or select “None”
Install an Ad Blocker App
Ad blockers can block ads system-wide:
Scan for Malware or Adware
If the ads are too frequent or aggressive:
- Open Google Play Store
- Install Malwarebytes Mobile
- Run a full scan and remove threats
Ads can be frustrating, but with these steps, you can make your Android phone cleaner, faster, and more secure. Make sure you only install trusted apps and keep your phone updated.
