How creepy is it to find ads in Samsung's first party Weather app
Never expected this from Samsung 
This is happening after the one UI 3.0 update 
Samsung hasn't given me a free phone to do whatever they wish to 
Never expected this from Samsung 
Highly disappointed

This is not by Samsung. The data provider has ads on their website, which gets displayed in the app when Androis system webview shows web content inside the app. Samsung has nothing to do here. Anyways, check my post on how to get rid of ads:

How is Samsung responsible? Its the website and the website creator has right to put ads on the website and no one can say anything, nor is it possible to remove ads just for one brand of devices. Also, system webview does not provide information based on which device you use. It is just doing its work.

Do you know what Android system webview is? Android system webview is used to view website content inside apps. So the ads which are on the website are shown in the app.
