I have pihole for DNS blocking. Unfortunately, many apps fall back to advertising their premium plans which is just as annoying and far more repetitive (looking at you, Duolingo).
The more direct approach if you’re rooted: use App Manager, find your app, click the “X trackers” button in the header and if you still see adverts, look for any activities, services, receivers, that look like ads (usually highlighted).
For example (german):
There’s also Warden, which can do the same but more simplified. They use both Exodus Privacy.
They both edit the app directly, without any background services or VPNs.
I’d recommend using uBlock with Firefox and/or Librewolf
uBlock Origin, not the fake uBlock.
What about in app ads? Especially the full screen ads on mobile apps.
If you’re on Android, go to settings and network, find and enable private dns mode using this host address
dns.adguard-dns.com
It should block the majority of ingame/inapp ads, etc
Edit: Minor Caveat. This isn’t fool proof nor is it 100% effective.
But takes you all of 30 seconds and does not require root permissions, side loaded apps, etc. Its all about the cost benefit ratios.

Don’t use apps with ads. F-droid exists
I regret to say that I don’t know a solution for that; maybe someone here will know better if it’s possible to block built-in ads
Adaway if your phone is rooted. Pihole or dns adblocking otherwise
