October Update

[D.P.G.]

Samsung just can't help themselves they now have advertising in the stock weather app. Enough is enough already.

Yes same stock weather app as I have used since day 1. Did you get the October update yet that is when it changed.

They are not really 'pop-up ads'. When you open the app from the widget & scroll down, the ads are place between the sections, like Hourly, Daily, Details, & Life Index. I haven't received the October update on my s9+, but my s10+ updated & the ads are there.

I don't have any of those. I'm on the October security patch.

I wish I could have no ad's but look here they are.

Damn! I just enabled my stock weather app to take a look... Same Caribbean cruise ad and some other nonsense!

as i posted in my own thread recently the Galaxy Store has ads when downloading the free themes. Forced to watch a 20 sec ad to download and if i close the ad then it doesn't download. This is nuts. A premium phone with ads now.
