How to Turn Off Ads & Stop Personalization on ZTE Blade A36

Managing Advertising ID

• 💡 Resetting your Advertising ID helps reduce personalized ads by preventing the device from showing items you've previously searched for.
• 🎯 To reset, navigate to Settings → Google → All services → Ads, then tap Reset advertising ID and confirm.
• 🗑️ Subsequently, tap Delete advertising ID to remove personalization.

Implementing Private DNS for Ad Blocking

• 🚀 Setting a private DNS can limit the advertisements your device receives system-wide.
• 📌 Go to Settings → Connected devices → Private DNS.
• ✍️ Enter dns.adguard.com as the provided host name and tap Save.

Controlling App Notification Ads

• ⚠️ If specific apps display many ad-related notifications, you can disable them individually.
• 📲 For example, to manage Play Store notifications: tap and hold the app icon, select App info → Notifications.
• 🎛️ Find categories related to advertisements (e.g., 'Deals', 'Recommendations') and toggle them off.
• 🚫 Alternatively, you can turn off all notifications for an app if it doesn't contain essential alerts.

Exploring Ad Blocker Apps

• 🔍 As a last resort, consider using ad blocker apps available on the Google Play Store.
• 📱 These apps can block ads not just in browsers but for the entire Android system.
• ✅ Searching for 'ad block' or 'ad blocker for Android' can reveal suitable options.
