Baidu Maps ads cannot be turned off? Official response: Not in line with the actual situation

Recently, some media and users reported that the ad close button in the Baidu Maps app's ride-hailing service is designed to be quite hidden and difficult to find. In response, Baidu stated, "The screenshots shown in the media reports do not match the actual situation of Baidu Maps online. We provide a clearly visible close button that users can manually close at any time, and it will not trigger again for the rest of the day after being closed. We are also contacting the original media and users to verify the screenshot issue mentioned in the reports. Baidu Maps is always committed to enhancing user experience and providing safe, reliable, and intelligent travel assistance. If users have any issues while using the map, they are welcome to leave a message in the background or contact the Baidu Maps customer service center at any time."
