Opt Out of Personalized App Ads from Google (Android)

 

Android: Opt Out of Personalized App Ads

If you use Android, there’s another tweak that needs to be made—fortunately, this one’s quick and simple.

First, head into the Settings menu—pull down the notification shade and tap the cog icon to get there.

Scroll down until you see the “Google” entry in the Personal section. Tap that.

From here, find the “Ads” entry, which is listed under the Services subhead.

There are a few options here, but you want to click the toggle beside “Opt out of Ads Personalization.” Basically, we’re all opted-in by default, and you must do this to opt out.

That’s it—instead of seeing personalized ads in apps, you’ll either see generic placements or something related to the app itself.
