Not sure if it is like that because I'm in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I've had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

Trash company, throw it on the pile with all the other ad companies.

I'm happy that I never connected my TV to the internet.

I haven't seen that on my S10e; my carrier texts me about twice a year wanting me to upgrade because of course.

Weird....I have been using Samsung phones for the past 4 years. I have never got such ads. I think you turned on the customization service or some other ad related thing. And ofcourse you can always debloat it. Ideally they should turn off customization service as default but since we live in a world of enshittification one can only dream.

I've been using the Galaxy A52s for a couple of years now. Never seen ads outside the Samsung apps. SEA region.

Have you got the customisation service turned on in settings? I've never seen an ad in my notifications and until recently I was using a Samsung of similar age.

Wow. That would make me rage so hard. But I have had galaxy phones since the 6, on 21 ultra now. I've never seen an ad there.

Maybe it's because I don't have a flagship Samsung model, but I'm lucky enough not to get ads for their products in my notifications. That, or it's because my service provider doesn't want Samsung advertising new phones, which is a very fat chance that's true.

It's a setting. I believe it's under security and privacy. Mines been off since forever, but I'm not sure if I turned it off right away or if it came like that.
