TCL NXTpaper 11 Plus: How to Turn Off Ads and Personalization

Managing Google Ad Settings

• 💡 Open the Settings app on your TCL NXTpaper 11 Plus and navigate to Google services.
• 🎯 Within Google services, find and tap on Privacy and security, then select Ads.
• 📌 Here, you have two primary options: resetting or deleting your Advertising ID.
• 🚀 Resetting the Advertising ID is recommended to remove ad personalization, though it won't completely turn off ads.

Controlling App Notifications

• 🧠 To reduce ads within apps, identify which app sends the most ad notifications (e.g., Play Store).
• ⚠️ Long-press the app icon, go to App info, and then tap on Notifications.
• 🔍 Look for notification categories related to ads, deals, or recommendations and disable them to receive fewer ad-related alerts.

Utilizing Ad Blockers and Private DNS

• 🛠️ Search the Play Store for ad block apps or browsers designed to block advertisements.
• 🌐 As a last resort, go to Settings > Connections and find Private DNS.
• ✅ Enable Private DNS by selecting 'Provided hostname' and entering dns.adguard.com (or a similar service) to block ads system-wide.
• ⚠️ Be aware that using Private DNS might occasionally prevent access to certain websites; you can revert to automatic settings if this occurs.
