How To Avoid MX Player Ads
To avoid ads on MX Player, you have a few options depending on whether you’re using the free version, are open to paying, or want a workaround. Here are all the practical ways:
β 1. Subscribe to MX Player Pro (Ad-Free Version)
- MX Player Pro is a paid app available on the Play Store.
- It removes all in-app ads and offers smoother playback.
- One-time purchase (usually under $10).
π± [Search βMX Player Proβ on Google Play Store or App Store]
β 2. Use an Offline-Only Approach
- Download videos to your phone and play them offline using MX Player.
- Avoid opening the app while connected to the internet.
- This prevents ad loading altogether.
π Works best if you donβt need to stream content.
β 3. Block Ads with a Private DNS or Ad Blocker (Android)
- Use private DNS settings (like AdGuard DNS or NextDNS):
- Go to:
Settings > Network & Internet > Private DNS
- Set to:
dns.adguard.com
ordns.nextdns.io/yourconfig
- Go to:
- Or install a trusted ad blocker like:
- AdGuard
- Blokada
- Requires extra setup but can block in-app ads system-wide.
β οΈ May not block 100% of video ads, especially on streamed content.
β 4. Use an Alternative Video Player (For Local Files)
- If you only use MX Player for offline/local files, try:
- VLC for Android/iOS (free, open-source, no ads)
- KMPlayer
- XPlayer
π‘ These alternatives support most video formats with zero ads.
β 5. Turn Off Internet While Watching
- If you’re using MX Player to watch downloaded videos, simply turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data before opening the app.
π« This prevents the app from showing ad banners or loading pop-ups.
β οΈ Note:
- Blocking ads for free streaming content is generally discouraged by platforms and may violate terms of service.
- MX Player earns revenue through ads to offer free content.
