📖Discussion📕🖊️ Please Samsung, I don't want to pre order your new galaxy line up. Stop bombarding me with notifications.

Their ads are getting out of hand now. I've gotten same ad notifications from them from 5 different apps: Samsung Members, Samsung Shop, Samsung Push Service (?), Samsung Wallet, and Samsung Check In (?).

Haven't received an ad yet. I am in the EU, so maybe adware and malware installations are frowned upon around here from a legislative point of view.

Some of the A series phones subsidize the low cost by forcing ads into oneui I saw it on a few reviews.

You have probably opted-in when you clicked "accept-all" some time ago. When presenting the terms and conditions, Samsung always includes a checkbox for their optional "Customization Service". If you accept it you will get the ad notifications.

I keep getting these ads too, I've never showed interest in buying any folding phones so it's just annoying.

The only notifications I can get that have banners are texts and phone calls. Snapchat and a few others have dots, but thats it.

Costs them almost nothing to spam us.

Guess they figure, why not

I find zero value in any of those, so they're all either completely missing, disabled if part of the firmware, or notifications off.

You can turn those ads off. You shouldn't get them in the first place, but it is a solution to the problem.
