Can You Block Ads on Facebook Mobile?
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Facebook does not let you block all ads. You can hide individual ads or advertisers and adjust Ad preferences, but those changes do not remove every ad.
Hide an individual ad
Open the ad's More menu, choose Hide ad and follow the feedback prompts.
Hide an advertiser
Use Why am I seeing this ad? and choose the option to hide ads from that advertiser when available.
Adjust Ad preferences
Open Settings > Accounts Center > Ad preferences to manage topics, advertisers and information used for personalization.
Know the limit
Meta states that you cannot opt out of or block all Facebook ads. Preferences influence relevance, not the total number of ads.
