How to Disable Ads in Mobile Games: 2 Tricks Worth Trying

Ads in mobile games are everywhere, but there's something you can try to avoid ads in your favorite offline games.

Nobody likes ads, but they're a necessary evil in today's mobile world. They allow developers to offer their apps for free while still earning money from their creations. The vast majority of free apps and games on both iPhone and Android include ads, so you're certainly used to seeing them.

While most in-game ads aren't malicious, they do interrupt your gameplay and waste screen space. We'll show you how to stop ads when playing mobile games using a little trick.

How to Remove Ads From Mobile Games

Since almost all mobile ads are dynamically loaded from the internet, your phone must be online to show the ads.

As a result, you can simply put your phone in airplane mode to remove ads in mobile games. When you do this, most banner ads will disappear, and video ads won't ever load. You may still notice a placeholder where ads used to be, but that's minor.

For a primer on how to do this, check out our guide to airplane mode on iPhone or how to use airplane mode on Android.

Of course, this won't work unless the game is playable offline. Many popular games require a connection to even start them, so this won't work in those cases. But if you enjoy offline mobile games like simple puzzles or platformers, this is a great tactic.

As an added bonus, doing this will consume less battery life. Your phone won't spend as much battery power on network services, plus it won't have to use juice to load and display ads. Just make sure to turn off airplane mode when you're done so you don't miss anything important!

Other Ways to Stop Ads on Mobile Games

As mentioned, this tip won't work for every game. If you can't use it to hide the ads in your favorite game, there are a few other options.

First, you should check if the game has an in-app purchase to remove ads. Many games allow you to pay a few dollars to strip ads out forever. For games you play regularly, it's worth the small fee to remove annoying ads.

If the game doesn't offer this option, consider contacting the developer and asking them to add it. You can find usually their website and email address on the App Store or Google Play listing. Not every developer will respond, of course, but it's worth a try and they'll hopefully appreciate your support.

If neither of these works, it's worth trying one of the best VPNs on your phone. Some VPNs can hide mobile ads, but it's not a guarantee.

Stopping Ads in Your Favorite Mobile Games

We'll probably never stop seeing ads in mobile games. But it's worth trying these tips to hide ads in your favorite games.

And if you can't get rid of the ads, why not look for a different game that lets you pay to remove them? Some free games are truly excellent and don't feature any ads or in-app purchases at all!
