00:00Because Temu uses aggressive retargeting. Its ads follow you across Google searches, social media feeds like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok,
00:07and web browsers.
00:09While you can't completely stop an external company from buying ad space on major platforms, you can choke off their
00:14targeted data profile and block ad domains system-wide on Android.
00:19For us to follow these step-by-step methods to reduce and block Temu ads on your Android device.
00:25Method 1. Reset and Disable Ad Personalization on Google
00:28Temu relies heavily on Google's Advertising ID to track your interests across the web.
00:33Disabling personalized ads stops Google from feeding them data to target you.
00:37Open your Android settings. Scroll down and tap Google or Google Services.
00:42Tap the All Services tab on newer Android versions or look for ads. Tap Ads or Ads by Google. Tap
00:49Reset Advertising ID and Confirm.
00:51Be able to delete Advertising ID if you want to wipe it completely or go to Add Privacy, Add Personalization,
00:58and toggle it off.
01:00Method 2. Set up a Private DNS.
01:02Add Blocking DNS. Using a system-level Private DNS filters out ad servers and tracking domains before they can load
01:08banners or pop-ups in your browser and apps.
01:11Open your Android settings. Tap on Network and Internet.
01:14Or Connections and More Connection settings depending on your phone brand like Samsung or Xiaomi. Tap on Private DNS.
01:21Select Private DNS Provider Host Name. Enter the following Ad Guard DNS Host Name. Tap Save.
01:28Method 3. Manually hide a report Temu ads on social media.
01:33If Temu ads keep popping up in your feeds on Meta, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, you can train their algorithms
01:38to stop serving them to you.
01:39If you want a Temu sponsored post or video appears in your feed, look for the three dots, my, in
01:45the top right corner of the post.
01:46Select hide a ad or see fewer ads like this.
01:50Choose a reason, for example, irrelevant or repetitive if prompted.
01:54If you have a Temu account, log into the app, go to your profile, delete your browsing search history, and
02:00deactivate or delete your account entirely to cut off their direct behavioral tracking loop.
02:04Method 4. Use a dedicated system. Wide ad blocker app.
02:09If DNS filtering isn't aggressive enough for your social media apps, you can use specialized, system-level ad blocking utilities.
02:16Install a trusted system-wide content blocker like AdLock or AdGuard for Android, downloaded directly from their official sites, as
02:23strict ad blockers are sometimes limited on the Google Play Store.
02:26Follow the on-screen setup to enable their local VPN-based filtering, which intercepts tracking and ad requests across apps.
