I want to pay for and use Sync without having to accept the AdMob Privacy Policy
Ideally a Pro version of the App, but ljdawson has specified that Google Play doesn’t allow that
Failing that, an APK on the Releases page of Github where I can download a version which requires verification of paid status
Here are some stock Android apps that use AdMob ads:
- Google Chrome: The default web browser on Android shows banner ads at the bottom of the screen.
- YouTube: The popular video-sharing app shows banner ads at the bottom of the screen and video ads before and during videos.
- Gmail: The email app shows banner ads at the bottom of the inbox.
- Google Maps: The navigation app shows banner ads at the bottom of the map view.
- Google Play: The app store shows banner ads at the top and bottom of the screen.
- Google Photos: The photo gallery app shows banner ads at the bottom of the screen.
- Google Calendar: The calendar app shows banner ads at the bottom of the screen.
- Google Drive: The cloud storage app shows banner ads at the bottom of the screen.
It’s important to note that not all stock Android apps use AdMob ads. Some apps, such as the Google Clock app and the Google Calculator app, do not show any ads.
Also, it’s possible that Google may remove AdMob ads from some stock Android apps in the future. For example, Google recently removed AdMob ads from the Google Search app.
Overall, the use of AdMob ads in stock Android apps is a relatively common practice. However, it’s important to be aware that not all stock Android apps show ads, and that Google may choose to remove ads from some apps in the future.
Google Calendar? Gmail? GOOGLE PHOTOS?
Damn my DNS adblocker has been pulling weight then. This is absolutely ridiculous on Google’s part, and a little greedy considering those are stock apps IMO
Wow! I’ve been using adguard for years now, and had no idea what I was missing
You can check the logs in Adguard. Personally, I saw only 2 or 3 blocked entries in ytmusic, youtube(could be something due to premium) and google search, and no blocked entries for drive or photos, calender. Gmail does have ads in the promotions tab. But, its to be expected when you dont pay for that one.
