Samsung has added a new feature that helps stop annoying apps from sending too many advertising notifications. If an app keeps sending promotional alerts, Samsung can automatically block it from bothering you with the “Block apps with excessive ads” feature.

This new tool helps stop apps from sending too many ad notifications. The feature does not block ads inside apps. It only works with notifications and helps reduce unwanted notifications from apps that send too many ads.

When Samsung detects an app sending lots of advertising notifications, it can place that app into Deep Sleep. Apps in Deep Sleep cannot run in the background, which helps stop those annoying alerts.

Notably, it offers two blocking options:

Basic Blocking 

This option is turned on by default. Samsung uses its own data to find apps that are known for sending too many ad notifications and blocks them automatically.

Intelligent Blocking

It gives extra protection. It checks notifications in real time and can find new apps that are sending too many ads. It then blocks those apps automatically.

How to enable this feature:

• Open the Settings app on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
• Scroll down and tap Device Care.
• Tap the three dots in the top-right corner.
• Select Settings.
• Tap Block apps with excessive ads.
• Check that Basic Blocking is turned on and turn on Intelligent Blocking for stronger protection.

Once the feature is enabled, your phone will watch for apps that send too many ad notifications and automatically reduce them.

Aside from this, you can also check which apps were blocked. For that, open Settings >> Device Care >> Care Report >> Excessive Alerts. You can see here the apps that Samsung has moved to Deep Sleep because they were sending too many promotional notifications.

This new feature is a simple way to keep your Galaxy phone cleaner and quieter. By turning it on, you can enjoy fewer annoying ads and a better smartphone experience.

Many Samsung users see the “Battery Protection” feature and think they must use it. This feature limits charging to 80%, which aims to make the battery last longer. But the truth is, most people don’t really need it.

Nowadays, Samsung phones already have smart charging. When the battery reaches 100%, the phone automatically stops charging. This prevents overcharging and keeps your battery safe.

Using the 80% limit all the time means the Maximum Battery Protection feature has a minor downside. You don’t get the phone’s full battery power, which means it may run out faster during the day. You might end up charging it more often, which can be inconvenient.

Samsung batteries are designed to handle hundreds of full charging cycles. They are built to last for years if you use them normally. The main things that can harm the battery are extreme heat and letting it drain to 0% too often, not charging to 100%.

The “Max Battery Protection” option is optional. It can be helpful if you plan to keep your phone for many years and want to be extra careful. But for regular use, it’s not needed. Charging your phone to 100% occasionally is completely safe.

So, don’t worry too much about max battery protection as charging the battery to 100% isn’t anything wrong. Your Samsung phone already manages its battery well. Charge it in a way that suits your day, and enjoy your phone without stressing over charging percentage.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 has a special feature in Google Chrome that you won’t find on Google’s own Pixel tablets. This feature lets your open Chrome tabs show up when you search for things on your tablet’s home screen.

Usually, Samsung’s Internet works closely with the tablet’s search tool called Samsung Finder. When you search using Finder, it can show you websites you’ve visited. But Chrome didn’t have this feature until now.

On the Galaxy Tab S10 and S11, Chrome has a hidden setting that lets it share your open tabs and their website addresses with the tablet’s system. This means if you search for something in Samsung Finder, you might see your open Chrome tabs in the results. It makes finding stuff easier and faster.

To turn on this feature, you go to Chrome’s settings >> find “Tabs and tab groups” >> click on Advanced >> switch on “Share titles and URLs of open tabs from this device with the operating system.” This feature only works on certain Samsung tablets.

Notably, it requires the device to be a tablet and to support “Auxiliary Search.” That’s why Google hasn’t made it available on the Pixel Tablet or other devices.

It’s not clear why Google and Samsung decided to keep this feature only for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10 and S11 tablets. Maybe it’s a way to give Samsung users a better experience since Samsung Internet already works so well with the system.

So, if you use a Galaxy Tab S11, you get an amazing Chrome trick that Pixel tablet users don’t have. It’s a handy way to keep track of your open tabs and find them quickly from your tablet’s search bar. Try it now!
