Samsung Introduces Advertising on Family Hub Refrigerators

In a move to enhance the value of their home appliances, Samsung has announced a pilot program to display ads on certain models of their Family Hub refrigerators. The program, which is currently limited to the US market, has been confirmed by Samsung to Android Authority.

The ads will appear on the screens of Samsung Family Hub refrigerators when they are in standby mode, specifically in the "Cover Screen" mode. This mode allows users to see the weather, calendar events, and other information at a glance. However, Samsung has clarified that ads will not be shown on all Cover Screen modes, such as those displaying a photo album.

According to Samsung's statement to Android Authority, the ads being displayed are part of a "curated content" offering. This means that the ads will be carefully selected and presented in a way that is intended to be informative and useful to the user.

Samsung has announced this change through a changelog, as reported by Reddit users. The company has also stated that they will be testing advertising on Family Hub refrigerator screens not only in the USA but also in selected other markets. Unfortunately, specific countries beyond the USA have not been clearly named in the sources available.

It is important to note that no information is provided about how users can opt-out of the ad display. It is recommended that users keep an eye on Samsung's official communication channels for updates on this matter.

This development marks a significant shift in the way Samsung approaches their home appliances, and it will be interesting to see how users react to this change. As always, Samsung remains committed to providing innovative and useful products to their customers.

Stay tuned for more updates on this story as they become available.
