disable an ad

[Android Question]

How can I get rid of an annoying ads appearing on the home screen of my samsung galaxy 8 tablet? The tablet is new, the ads are for game hub, videos, and flipboards, all associated with apps installed by samsung.

I don't think those are ads. They sound like the default screens I had on my Samsung Galaxy S4. Those are in fact functional widgets. If you want to remove them, just long-press and them drag them (individually) to the top of screen "remove" legend or trash can.

Mr.Lucky is indeed correct.

As a recently new owner of a GALAXY NOTE 8 tablet,I can attest to this.

Thank you both for the fix. Easy and successful. It's all about going from Apple to Android, and learning all the little ins and outs. You helped.
