Google is starting to show ads on Pixel phones — here’s how to turn them off
Ads suck, but at least you can get rid of this one.
Google is starting to display advertisements on Pixel phones, prompting users to learn how to disable them. While Pixels are typically free from bloatware and ads, the My Pixel app has introduced ads in the form of notifications. This development, which began with the launch of the Pixel 11 series, goes against the brand's reputation for minimal preloaded applications and ads.
Users can take control of these advertisements through Android's notification settings, specifically by disabling the "New products and offers" category within the My Pixel app. This allows users to retain the app's beneficial features while minimizing unwanted ads. The author, who factory reset their Pixel phone to exit a beta program, highlights the ease with which these ads can be turned off, expressing hope that this feature remains intact as Google continues to release more hardware.
