Do iPhone/US Gmail users really see ads in Gmail on their mobile devices? Not sure whether it's because of our privacy laws here in Germany, but I've only ever seen the (quite general) ads on the webinterface where I've opted out of profiled ads I guess.

UK, iPhone 4s, GMail app.

You have to go to the promotions tab to see the ads. Ads don't appear in the other tabs.

Ah! Guess this is due to me not using the "multiple email tabs" feature of Gmail then. Thanks.
