The advert contents is still delivered from 3rd party servers, so on Android you can side-load Blokada, which provides host-based ad-blocking. It runs as a local VPN routing all traffic through it, and blocks the ad hosts. You'll probably still see advert place holders in a lot of apps, and on my phone at least I have to be vigilant that the OS doesn't kill the VPN process, but it's well worth it.
