Your Samsung fridge may start showing ads you can't turn off - but there's a workaround


Samsung wants to bring "brand message to every screen in the connected home."

In notes for a recent software update, Samsung explained, "to enhance our service and offer additional content to users, advertisements will be displayed on the Cover Screen for the Weather, Color, and Daily Board themes." You do have the option to dismiss an ad, but that just means that particular advertisement won't show up again. In a statement to Android Authority, Samsung said that advertising will not appear when your fridge's cover screen displays either Art Mode or picture albums.
