Feeling flooded by Facebook's constant ads? Looking for a simpler newsfeed experience without the pressure to transform your content into a money-making machine?

In this post, we'll show you how to turn off the annoying sales pitches and go back to the real core of Facebook.

Best Ways to Turn Off Monetization on Facebook 

Monetization features are often not activated by default and must be applied for and met with specific requirements. 

If your Page or profile is eligible, your publicly available Facebook Reels content may generate revenue through Facebook Reels advertisements. Here are the two methods to control ads for your Facebook Reels content.

On iOS and Android Devices

If you want to turn off monetization by using your mobile phone, you have to follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Facebook and go to your profile.

Step 2: Then select Menu by clicking on three horizontal lines in the upper right corner.

Step 3: Go to the Professional Dashboard.

Step 4: Tap on Monetization Tools.

Step 5: Tap Ads on Reels.

Step 6: Tap the gear icon in the upper right corner, or go to Ads Settings.

Step 7: Use the toggle to turn on or off advertisements. In this case, toggle off the button to turn off the monetization.

Turning off monetization on Facebook reduces their capacity to directly benefit from your content, but it does not ensure perfect privacy. There are still security concerns to address. Data tracking and gathering can continue even if advertising is turned off.
