Samsung has updated its Device Care app to version 13.8.80.7, introducing a significant feature that automatically detects and blocks apps that spam users with advertisement notifications. This new functionality puts such apps into 'deep sleep' mode, preventing them from interrupting users again. The basic blocking feature relies on a list of apps identified by Samsung as frequent advertisers, while the intelligent blocking option continuously analyzes notifications to identify and block ads. Users still have the option to manually uninstall any app that is bothersome. The Device Care app is integrated into Samsung's One UI, but this particular feature is currently available only for devices running One UI 8.5. The rollout of this update is ongoing, and users may experience delays in receiving the new feature.
