Samsung Plans Feature to Limit Apps Sending Excessive Ad Notifications

Samsung is reportedly developing a feature in its upcoming One UI software updates to automatically block apps that send excessive advertising notifications. This tool aims to reduce spammy alerts by identifying such apps and restricting their notification activity, potentially placing them in a 'deep sleep' mode. While the feature has not been officially announced, it may first appear in beta versions and is part of Samsung's broader efforts to enhance notification management and user control across Galaxy devices.
