What are the ads on Android?
Acceptable_Reading21 t1_j9jlpz4 wrote
Just the ones that pop up in my notifications from various apps. Although I'll admit it's not as bad with android 13 keeping notifications off my default.

Just block notifications or uninstall those apps. Androids not profiting from that

Not an android experience but I used to have a phone that would occasionally show me notification ads for apps I don't have installed. Verizon pushed those ads from an app that I couldn't uninstall without jailbreaking my phone

You couldn't disable notifications or disable the app?

Those are not ads, neither is google send it them, is push notifications from other companies, probably your carrier

why are they downvoting you? Notifications off is a feature in most phones.

You're blaming Android for that? Not the apps you installed?
Android/Google developed custom notification actions to deal with that.

Yes have a look at the so called “privacy sandbox” they are introducing . Companies like Facebook can now track you across apps.

Facebook can track you wherever you are, and whatever you use. It's not an Android problem.
If you have a problem with Facebook tracking, then don't use it.

I don’t use it and this is a android problem “privacy sandbox” is anything else , in the past you would have to install there spyware onto your phone to be spied on. Now any app can contain spyware bundles to run at a system level and collect user data from beyond just the app but from all apps installed on your device.
