Wait, the Gmail app on phones has ads?

Yes, it's unfortunate. I had forgotten about it since I've had a GSuite locally for a while but I see them when someone else opens their app.

Ah, I guess they're only for the Promotions and Social inbox categories, and I have inbox categories disabled.
If I saw an ad in my email client, my immediate action would be to find a new email client.
If you can afford $6/mo, Google Workspace isn't bad, there's generally better security and it grants you a lot of control over your account's settings (and will remove ads from the Gmail app on your phone, even when only looking at your @gmail account inbox).
Otherwize, Zoho works, but now costs $12/user/year (it used to be free) so ymmv. Great if you were planning on pure POP/IMAP usage anyways.
