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?
