Hello JoA30,
It sounds like you're seeking help blocking ads in apps on your iPhone. We're happy to provide you with some information on this.
The ability to block apps altogether in an app can depend on which app it is and what the developer does and doesn't allow. Some third-party apps may not provide an option to block them, or may require you to purchase additional content to remove ads. If it isn't clear how to prevent ads in a third-party app, you can try reaching out to the app developer to see if they have any options: How to contact an app developer.
You mentioned getting ads in a news app. Were you referring to Apple News? There isn't a way to completely remove ads in this app, even if you're subscribed to Apple News+. However, you can adjust some settings to see if it helps limit the number of ads you get: Opt out of interest-based ads in the App Store and Apple News.
If you're seeing ads pop up that don't appear to be in the actual app you have open, it's possible another app may be causing this to happen. If this started after installing a specific app on your iPhone, try removing it to see if it resolves the issue.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care.
