Jakarta, Selular.ID – Samsung’s apps have been showing ads for years and the company has often been criticized for it. In response to this criticism, Samsung seems to be removing ads in a number of its default applications.

And users claim even the Samsung Pay app experience, experience faster access times, as well as payout times, which they claim to be ad-free.
