Found out that it was due to the "promotions" and "social" tabs. Once I got rid of those the ads went away. Now I'm using and enjoying the app again!
Got a tip for us?

That's google doing you a favour filtering out spams and promotions in your inbox lol 😂 That's a good thing. You can "Mark as spam" so that similar emails will go directly to the spam box, which will not trigger alert notifications of recept.
And I've used Apple Maps exclusively for several years in over 14 different states without an issue. I've often compared the routes to Google Maps on numerous occasions and majority of the times they are identical. In cities where the routes are numerous, the various routes often overlap so it because a crap shoot which one is the best.
You're not every Apple customer. Plenty of Apple users use or have used Google apps at one point. Every early iphone user used Google Maps since it was the default nav app back in the day.
not a new user by any means(if you meant me), just prefer apple's approach to apps rather than google's, i guess)
Since that's a revenue driving app you'll probably never see it which IMO is an anti trust monopolistic issue especially now that they have allowed users to set 3rd party email and browser apps.
I'm currently an AM user and still believe you should have the choice of setting which ever music app you want as the default.
Thought the same. Are they at the top but I don't notice? Or were they recently added since I switched to Outlook when I got sick of them dragging their feet on Dark Mode?
Honestly, for me, the ads are nowhere to be found. But I won’t assume that he isn’t telling the truth.
I feel bad about Dark Mode. For whatever reason, it became active for me a long time ago. Maybe because I’ve had a gmail account since launch all those many years ago. So many people said Dark Mode is still not available, and for a while, I thought they just couldn’t figure it out. I assumed. Not proud. I’m hoping everyone has it now.
Fair points. I might give Outlook for gmail for mac a go. Spark seems more like a design tool than an email tool???
You're right, it is way worse than this! And one of many examples, both in hardware and software. I yearn for the days when Apple "just works". I don't know if you've noticed, but they've dropped the "it just works" slogan, and for very good reason.
except butterfly switch problems affected less than a few percent of customers which requires designing a brand new model of a physical product involving hundreds of people while a lack of features to gmail affects hundreds of millions of people simply because google refused 2-3 engineers to implement a solution in a week
you’re not thinking rationally here.
How incredibly useless.
If there was a Thunderbird app for iOS, I might care. But the Gmail app is awful even if you do use a Gmail account, which I don't.
What I want to be able to change is the maps app. Apple maps are TERRIBLE, always have been. Sure, they're slightly better now than they were when Apple prematurely ejaculated that app and splattered it on us, but not enough better to be usable.
Waze works. Waze has all the streets where they belong 99.999% of the time, and in the very, very rare case where they don't I can fix it myself.
Google maps work. Even Bing maps are more accurate than Apple's garbage.
Given what Apple's maps look like, there's no way I'd ever get in an Apple self-driving car.

Maybe the latest version was a little slower to appear in the Australian app store. I have the option now and have set it.
