What is a Native Ad?

A native ad is a type of ad which looks like another type of content present in your app. For example, an article.

The goal here is to make the ad less intrusive and to increase the probability of a user clicking on it.

In your GoodBarber app, native ads will only appear in the list of an Article section.
This is only available in iOS and Android versions of the app (not on the PWA version, which is a web version and not a native version of your app).

Warning:

Placement ID and Index

2. Select the platform (depending on your plan)
3. Activate the Facebook button
4. Fill in the indicated field the Placement ID given by Facebook at the end of the process on their platform and the Index*.
*The index is a number which determines the position of your native ad in the articles list.
