I’m as pro privacy and anti advertising as it gets, and your post is bad. You have a Smart Stack card on screen that is showing you articles from the news app, and another showing you App Store recommendations. it’s not an advertisement, iOS does not spam ads, just remove the Smart Stack, or remove the news app and AppStore from its feed.
Edited for clarity
By the way on the left its a picture I took, its my gallery. Never asked the iPhone to put my gallery there either. Or even asking to have this "smart stack" enabled...
You should probably get a flip phone my dude.
You should probably stop defending a trilion dollar company
The feature appeared by itself i believe with the last iOS. I never set it up.
I feel like my grandmother has risen from the dead.
Yes. It was a new feature. You can turn it on under settings. Long press on the screen and edit the widgets and turn off notifications for the App Store!
