As promised, Samsung has pulled ads from its stock apps

A major annoyance of using a Samsung phone is finally getting fixed, as the company seems to have finally pulled ads from some of its stock apps. One Verge employees report they aren't seeing ads in the Samsung Weather, Samsung Pay and Samsung Health apps, though they said they were forced to quit and reopen the Health app to remove the ad banner . 9to5Google says it is seeing that the ads have been removed as well.

The move is expected — the company promised in August that it would remove ads from apps including Samsung Weather, Samsung Pay and Samsung Themes "later this year" — but it's good to see Samsung is following through. . .

When asked for comment, Samsung did not confirm that the removals were now in effect, pointing to the same statement about the changes given to The Verge in August. However, TizenHelp reports that a Samsung employee confirmed the change to Samsung Health in a forum post.
