While you can't prevent all ads in Google products, you can block them as they appear. If you're seeing an ad on a website and app that partners with Google to show ads, you can close and report them. This wikiHow will show you how to close Google ads that appear from websites and apps that partner with Google to show ads.

Steps

Closing Ads in Google Services

Tap the information button Android 7 Info. You'll see this in the top right corner of the ad in a Google service like YouTube or Gmail.

Tap Why this ad. After you click the information icon, a menu will drop-down and you'll see a quick explanation of why you're seeing this specific ad once you tap Why this ad.

Tap Show ads from [ADVERTISER] to turn it off. If you're browsing YouTube on a phone or tablet, the option here is Stop seeing this ad.

Closing Ads on Websites that Partner with Google

Click X. You'll see this in the top right corner of the ad. You'll see Stop seeing this ad and Report this ad.

Click Stop seeing this ad. The ad will close and you have the opportunity to click the X again and Report this ad.

Click X and Report this ad (if you want to report it). You can report the ad for being irrelevant, appearing too much, or for violating Google Ads policies.
