This is (sort of) an extension of Samsung&#8217;s deep sleep feature.<\/p>\n<p>Still, instead of waiting for apps to go inactive or manually putting them into deep sleep, it will do so for you if your device detects excessive notification ad spam.<\/p>\n<p>This feature has been a blessing, since I&#8217;ve been getting more battery drain lately than not, and apps with notifications and ads that go out of control need to be silenced.<\/p>\n<p>I enabled this feature and paired it with Private DNS on my Samsung Galaxy S25+ to get the best out of both worlds, but you can do this on any other Samsung phone (or Android phone for Private DNS).<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tOne UI 8.5 has a smarter way of keeping annoying ad-heavy apps in check<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Almost no effort on your part<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"enable-notification-ad-blocking-on-your-samsung\">\n                        Enable notification ad-blocking on your Samsung<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"keep-the-notification-ad-spam-under-control\">\n           &#8230;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-new-ad-blocker-finally-stopped-phone-pestering\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung&#8217;s new ad blocker finally stopped my phone from pestering me all day https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-new-ad-blocker-finally-stopped-phone-pestering\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":273411,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.anpoimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/06\/intelligent-blocking-hero-2.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[86],"class_list":["post-273410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273410"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273410"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":273412,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273410\/revisions\/273412"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
