Server Version#: Irrelevant Player Version#: 2025.15.0 Device: iOS After a recent update, now I have advertisements on my Plex IOS app, and that is absolutely unacceptable. I pay for PlexPass so I don’t get ads on my screen. There are now two ad sections on my home screen “Trending Trailers” and “Trending on Apple TV”. I don’t need or want Plex pushing advertisements on me. I know how to find what I want to watch. Plus there is a new “Discover” section that is again, nothing but advertisements I don’t want or need. There is no option I can find in settings to disable this crap, I have disabled all “Services” under My Services. I selected Plex because it had a clean, user friendly UI. It seems Plex is moving away from that, and if this doesn’t stop, I will also be moving myself and my family away from Plex. ---

All of that can be disabled from the admin view on the web browser, under “Online Media Sources”. ---

[https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/online-media-sources](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/online-media-sources) Be aware that “Disabled for managed accounts” means it is _not_ disabled for you. You are the server owner, and thus are not a managed account. ---

I’ve had all that disabled on the server for a long time. I just double checked, and everything is still disabled for online media sources. That doesn’t stop the ads from showing up in the iOS app after the recent update. ---

Some things to try: Restart your Plex server and then restart the app. If that doesn’t work, uninstall the app and re-install it. ---

Nevermind, it seems they added “Disabled for managed accounts” and set my settings to that. What a horrible design decision. Dear Plex, please stop changing my settings so you can shove ads down my throat. ---

Yep. I got roasted the first time I posted - this is the best thing you can do for your plex experience. Oh how times have changed 😉 ![IMG_0967](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/e/f/a/efad964bd3717afafc96bc06118ecc97ed984353.jpeg) ---
