Most used method is by using third party ad-blocking apps. You can download apps such as Adblock Plus, AdGuard and AdLock to block ads on your smartphone. Most of these apps need root permission for blocking ads effectively. But there is an another method for blocking the ads which uses the private dns.

Smartphones with Android 9 or later comes with Private DNS feature. This feature can be used for blocking the ads.

  • For Samsung Galaxy devices Settings>Connections>More Connection Settings>Private DNS
  • If you cannot find the Private DNS option, then simply search Private DNS in Settings search bar.

Private DNS

  • Then select Private DNS provider hostname and enter the hostname of DNS provider as 'dns.adguard.com'.
  • For family protection mode(for blocking adult content) enter the hostname of DNS provider as 'dns-family.adguard.com'.
  • Hit Save and exit from the Private DNS menu. That's it. Now your device will block most of the ads and pop-ups.
