Samsung Updates Device Care 13.8.80.7 to Block Excessive Ad Notifications

8 articles · Updated · SammyGuru · May 11
  • Version 13.8.80.7 of Samsung’s Device Care app adds a tool that detects apps sending frequent ad notifications and pushes them into deep sleep.
  • Two blocking modes are included: a basic option that flags frequent ad senders and an intelligent option that analyzes alerts and blocks those judged to be ads, though Samsung says detection may not always be accurate.
  • The feature is rolling out in phases, so eligible Galaxy users may wait days or weeks before it appears under Settings > Device care > Care report > Excessive alerts.
  • Availability still looks limited to the Galaxy S26 series, and Samsung has not said whether the feature will reach older One UI versions beyond a possible tie to One UI 8.5.
As Samsung's AI polices app spam, will its own promotional notifications be held to the same standard?
Will Samsung's new ad-blocker also silence your crucial flight updates and bank fraud alerts?
