1st world problem, I know, but how can I stop ( or reduce) ads on FB app on iPad. I have all ad settings turned off although I know this only controls the content & not the amount of ads. I also understand that FB use ads for revenue, but right now I have a glut of them & it’s annoying. Any ideas?

    Thanks, I do have Legacy 1 as blocker which works with other sites but unfortunately not FB. However, I’ll try FB site through safari rather than the app.

    Content blockers will work in safari, not apps.
