Stop Gmail inbox inundation with ads using these effective tips.

A noticeable uptick in Gmail ads has been observed recently. As reported by 9to5Google, Google has markedly intensified its Gmail advertising efforts, leading to a surge in ad presence on both desktop and mobile platforms. Notably, areas of the app previously devoid of ads are now displaying them. Fortunately, a solution exists to eliminate these unwelcome ads.

How can one eliminate ads from Gmail?

If you’re weary of encountering ads in your inbox, here are the steps to remove them. Note that this process involves the removal of categories (such as Social, Updates, Promotions tabs, etc.), a minor inconvenience:

By following these steps, you’ll disable the tabs in your inbox, which were helpful in distinguishing spam from important messages. Currently, Google displays ads only when these categories are active, so disabling them will also deactivate the ads.
