Maybe you observed that over the previous a number of months, Apple has been putting adverts all through its iPhone apps and alerts. It’s most outstanding once you go to the App Retailer, however one other place adverts have not too long ago appeared is within the Pockets app. Probably the most outstanding Pockets advert I can bear in mind was for Apple’s F1 film this previous summer season, however different adverts have appeared extra not too long ago. Usually, I get disgusted by the thought of an advert showing in my Pockets and shut them instantly.
Apple foisting adverts on us is a foul look, however the firm simply did one thing to kind of treatment the state of affairs. In iOS 26, you now have the choice to deactivate adverts from showing in Apple Pockets. Right here’s how:
- Open Apple Pockets and faucet the ellipsis icon (…) on the higher proper nook.
- Within the pop-up menu, faucet Notifications.
- Within the record of settings, search for Provides & Promotions and faucet the change to the off place. There are different notifications right here you would possibly wish to deactivate, as nicely.
