Stopping personal ads doesn’t block ads. Google still shows you ads on its services like Google Search and YouTube, plus the ads you typically find on third-party websites or apps will continue to pop up — they just will not be tailored to your preferences. To start, you should delete the advertising ID linked to your Google account. You’ll have to log into your Google account if you haven’t already.
- Open the Settings app on your Android device.
- Go to Google > Ads.
- You’ll see two options: Reset advertising ID and Delete advertising ID. Resetting keeps ad personalization enabled but creates a new ad profile for you. Tapping “Delete advertising ID” disables personalized ads.
You can also turn off ad personalization across all platforms where you’re logged in with your Google account. The same goes for ads from over 2 million websites and apps that partner with Google (via Google).
- Navigate to Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account.
- Tap the Data & Privacy tab and find “Ad settings” under “Things you’ve done and places you’ve been”.
- Toggle the Ad personalization switch to turn it off.
This disables personalized ads shown on Google’s services, but to control other tailored ads from the company, tap Advanced and uncheck “Also use your activity…,” then opt out of personalized ads on apps and websites affiliated with Google’s ad program.
