Step by step

1. 

   Open AI Suggestions

   Open Settings, Honor AI. AI Suggestions is the first tile.

   Done

2. 

   Tap the three dots, then Privacy management

   At the top right of the AI Suggestions page.

   Done

3. 

   Turn off the switches you don't want

   Intelligent recommendations: service cards and apps based on your app usage and location. Personalised ads: Honor and its partners recommend products and services based on your preferences. Ours had Personalised ads off.

   Done

4. 

   Open HONOR Search settings, Homepage display

   Swipe down on the Home screen to open HONOR Search, tap the three dots next to Search, then Settings. Homepage display is the first row.

   Done

5. 

   Turn off HONOR Search suggestions

   Ours had App Suggestions and Search history on, Interest and Trending keywords off.

   Done

6. 

   Open Privacy controls, Ads

   Settings, Security and privacy, Privacy controls. Ads: Manage device data used to show you ads.

   Done

7. 

   Delete the advertising ID (optional)

   Delete advertising ID: apps can no longer use this advertising ID to show you personalised ads. We did not tap it.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• Turning Personalised ads on? It asks: I agree to the use of Personalised ads, and I can withdraw my consent at any time. Tap Disable to keep it off.

  

• Searched Settings for "ads"? It found Ads for work, Ads and Ads for private space.

  

• HONOR Search recommendations? HONOR says open the menu, Settings, Homepage display, Interest, and turn off the switch; the switch depends on the system version. Source: Turn off recommendations on Honor Search
• AI Suggestions card on the Home screen? It is part of AI Suggestions; App Suggestions on the same page sets which apps it shows.

  

If this does not work

• Still seeing ads? Google says deleting the advertising ID means apps can still show you ads, but they may be less relevant, and apps can have their own ad settings. Source: Manage your ad privacy settings on Android
• Want a fresh ID instead of none? The same Ads page has Reset advertising ID: This generates a new advertising ID that apps can use from now on. Source: Manage your ad privacy settings on Android

About this guide

There is no single ads switch on MagicOS 10. We searched Settings and opened each page that controls ads or recommendations.

The screenshots are from our HONOR Magic7 Lite, the European model BRP-NX1M, with MagicOS 10.0 and Android 16 (build 10.0.0.169(C430E7R2P1)), in Dark mode. Personalised ads was already off; we left the other switches as we found them.

Good to know

For the sidebar that shows suggestions, see Magic Sidebar.

To remove apps you don't want, see uninstall apps.

In short: Honor AI, AI Suggestions, three dots, Privacy management; HONOR Search, Homepage display; Privacy controls, Ads.
