Perhaps it is a bug. I too am surprised that Samsung would allow this. I have yet to experience anything on my S10. This is disconcerting.
Is Samsung going to really do this... Ads?

I was thinking that as well. Kind of like when people download some janky free apps and have ads take over the use of their phone.
Reading the articles I posted are saying Samsung is doing it, not third party apps. I don't view it as a bug.

No, I've own Samsung for many years and not experienced ads, something else going on
This happens all the time.. Just because some haven't seen ads doesn't mean Samsung isn't doing it. I've posted article that says Samsung is doing it and it also says select markets. So I would assume not everyone is getting them. Be glad if your one not getting them.

I have it turned off. Isn't that for Google ads anyway. If I turn it off it just says we'll still get ads, just not personalized to us.

I am surprised considering how many Samsung’s apps guess you owned over the years. You have been fortunate. My first Samsung and I’m one for one on ads lol.

Luck runs out eventually
No but for real something else has to be going on here or where it's coming from

I've not seen all the ads that people are getting on my AT&T branded s20+. I also opted out of a crap load of things when i setup my phone which may have something to do with this. I also always read the privacy and customization agreements on all the apps i install on my phone. Alot of what I see is people blindly hitting accept and checking bubbles or boxes without knowing what they are actually agreeing to. I also don't have the places nearby setting in the dialer on my AT&T version.

Good point , I don't either, I have places on in the dialer no ads , I don't use Samsung personalization across all apps . I like to know if safe mode it still happening.
I don't know if nobody is reading the article or we are on separate pages. What I've been saying is not related to third party ads, it's from Samsung directly. I doubt safe mode will stop them. I've enclosed a picture of part of the article. It's expected to be part of Samsung one UI 2.5 coming with the note 20 "STOCK APPS".
The other article says it is being deployed on the note 10, s 20 series now which some are getting them. I have not gotten one yet, my brother has, witch is what made me start this post, and it appears others have also. The first article has stated others have gotten the ads also.

Yeah, I think people didn't read our posts, too. That's a Samsung policy, I received my ads from a **** called "SamsungAdsService" and it was a lot of work to find how to disable it. All I have to say is, if this news about UI 2.5 is true (and maybe it is), for me will be time to go back iPhone all the way again. I simply hate and simply don't accept receiving crap ads notifications on my own device, in any circumstances. I pay for apps I like in order to not see it, if it is forced through the system so this system is not an option for me anymore.I don't know if nobody is reading the article or we are on separate pages.

Hope Apple will finally put pen support to new iOS 14, so I'll be really good to go again. Shame on you, Samsung.
I'm the exact same way for ads. I pay for the apps to get rid of ads. If Samsung brings ads to their stock apps on their phones I'll be looking at options. I was planning on getting the note 20, but reconsidering at the moment

Same here. I was all way down for Note 20 Ultra, now I have to reconsider. If it was a way to uninstall default Samsung apps, I'd be good. But since we don't have this option, I need to look around for options, and iPhone seems to be the most obvious one.

I finally decided and ordered a S20 Ultra as they gave me a stupid trade in amount for my wife’s old S7 and a discount for my place of employment. Soon as I pull the plug this thread pops up. If this is the way it’s going to be I’m sending it right back and will go OP or Google. I hate adds and buy my apps or pay to unlock add free, so to be forced to see them on my device will be the breaking point for me and Samsung.
So far it hasn't been wide spread, but if it becomes wide spread I'll be looking my options over. Like you I pay to avoid ads
