Hi Steve,

I'm an adult. I'm intelligent. I'm honest. I'm credible. Informative.
I'm nothing like the loathsome repugnant deplorable hate-filled iKooks.

I'm not afraid of backing up my claims with references, Steve.
Notice the iKooks are always _afraid_ of backing up their claims.

It's simple. Free. No root needed.
And, for older phones, it's a Google Play Store automatic update!

You should put it in your comparison document as a major difference:
*iOS === ads* ... vs ... *Android === no ads*

The FAQ should be titled: *How do you know when you're on iOS?*
*If you're seeing ads, you're on iOS*

Credible adults back up their claims.
1. If you're seeing _targeted_ ads, then you have your advertiser id
on iOS that you can't remove; but it's easily removed in Android.
<https://www.androidpolice.com/google-delete-android-advertising-ids/>

2. If you're seeing google-inserted YouTube ads in videos, then
you are on iOS because Android has FOSS YouTube clients with no ads.
<https://newpipe.net/>

3. If you're seeing ads anywhere else on the phone, then you're on iOS
because Android has free FOSS ad blocking using any hosts file desired.
<https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md>

Note the apps nospam claims are imaginary; ask nospam to back up his brazen
lies with an App Store URL to test nospam's deceitful lies, here & now,

#1: Credible adults are not liars like all iKooks are.
*How to delete the Advertising ID on Android*
<https://www.ghacks.net/2022/02/17/how-to-delete-the-advertising-id-on-android/>
#2: Credible adults are not ignorant like all iKooks are.
*Go YouTube ad-free on Android without spending a penny*
<https://www.online-tech-tips.com/software-reviews/newpipe-a-lightweight-youtube-app-for-android/>

#3: Credible adults are not uneducated, like all iKooks are.
*Enable NetGuard's Hidden Ad-Blocking Feature on Your Android Phone*
<https:// android.gadgethacks.com /how-to/enable-netguards-hidden-ad-blocking-feature-your-android-phone-0176386/>

I'm not afraid of facts. But the ignorant low-IQ uneducated iKooks are.

Please do not dispute these facts without even _clicking_ on the cites!
Why? Because that's what iKooks do. They're _afraid_ of facts.
They prefer to deny all facts they hate (which is a lot of facts).

And yes, unlike the uneducated low-IQ deceitful iKooks, I'm well
aware that Apple will let you opt out of "some" ads with each app.
<https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/how-disable-ad-id-tracking-ios-and-android-and-why-you-should-do-it-now>
--
The _adults_ on this ng should be asking the iKooks for references for
their claims - which always turn out as deceitful dishonest horrid lies.

Look nospam.

You have no dignity. No honor. No credibility. No remorse. No shame.

Like any predator...
You would stab your own mother in the back & poison her dog too, nospam.
Just so that you could sadistically enjoy doing it for your own amusement.
That's the kind of despicably deplorable barbarous person you are, nospam.

Act like an honorable human being for just once in your entire sordid life.
*Back up your brazen lies about iOS functionality with credible cites.*

So you've just presented (badly) three links about how to remove ads...

....that you claim Android doesn't show.

Got it.

I'll repeat my question from before. I'm not seeing any personalised ads on
my iphone, what am I doing wrong?

Oh no! Has my phone been hacked?!

Is there some open source, freeware, no ads, no calling to mothership
anti-malware app I can run to fix my phone?

according to arlen, you're not an adult, nor is the rest the kooky
klan, thus parental control would be the likely culprit, protecting
innocent children.

Hi Chris,

First off, I apologize for the broken-up URLs where I thought people would
be intelligent enough to figure that's to foil lousy "badurl" nntp filters.

But apparently the iKooks completely whoosh on all obvious facts and
concentrate instead on what amounts to purposeful typos to fix bad url
filters (I have no control over what the nntp server considers bad urls).

Anyway, I clearly understand that you "said" you're not seeing _targeted_
ads, which, may or may not be true because you don't know how to tell.

Nobody does.

But let's assume you're right for the first time in your entire life, Chris
(although I remember you claiming a PhD which you clearly lied about).

Let's assume, Chris - that either you're too stupid to recognize a targeted
ad, or, even that by pure luck, you haven't actually received targeted ads.

Good for you.
But that still doesn't change the main point one bit.

*If you're seeing _any_ ads, then you're on iOS* (not Android).

The reason has been supplied in the half dozen URLs that I previously
provided where the ad blocking functionality of iOS is clearly crippled.
--
The _adults_ on this ng should be asking the iKooks for references for
their claims, which always turn out as deceitful dishonest brazen lies.

The ad blockign in iOS is crippled, in that...

Nope, on iOS devices, you can completely turn off personalized ads by
disabling Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising > Personalized Ads.

Also wrong - you can watch YouTube videos with no ads thanks to the
Vinegar app (or other similar apps).

System-wide DNS ad blocking is available and works fine. I know because
I've used one such ad blocker for years without issue:
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adblock/id691121579?uo=4&at=11l6hc&app=itunes&ct=fnd>

All of your claims are false, Arlen.

it's impossible *for* *you*, and that obstacle is not limited to only
those three either.

those who want to do any or all of those things can easily do it,

Also, since iOS 14 (we're at iOS 16 now), Apple requires app developers
to call system APIs that ask the user whether they want to allow the app
to track them, and only if the user taps Allow does the developer get an
ID - but even better, the user can completely disable Settings > Privacy

developers from asking for it in the first place. : )

Hi nospam,

You defend Apple to the death using lies and deceit - never reliable facts.
*I simply state the facts* (where you have no _adult_ defense to facts).

As I said, I don't see _any_ ads on Android, targeted or otherwise.
*If you're seeing ads on a smartphone, then you're on iOS*

As I said, on Android you can wipe out the AdID in a single step.
*Not a billion iOS steps, once for each installed app, nospam*

Even better, Android has a free full system-wide firewall, nospam.
*This kind of powerful app functionality is impossible on iOS*
All by its itty bitty self.

What's clear about you nospam, is you're completely ignorant of all this.

Meh. I consider going to one place and turning off one control to be one
step.

Agreed.

The billion was a metaphor as it's only the _first_ step in preventing not
only ad personalizations but each and every ad in each and every app on
iOS.

After personalization, you have to turn off location based ads on iOS.
(Or are you iKooks claiming that location-based ads aren't personalized?)

Once you do that... come back to me and we'll work on the next in the list.
