Enable high-engagement ads setting

The high-engagement ads setting gives you more control over your ad experiences, so you can fine-tune the ad strategy for your apps. This app-level setting activates high-performing ads that boost user engagement and improve overall ad performance. For example, turning on this setting will allow Google Ads and other buyers under the AdMob Network to show:

  • Interstitial ads skippable no later than 12 seconds
  • Rewarded ads skippable no later than 60 seconds. Reward will be granted once skip time is reached.
  • Interstitial and rewarded ads with up to three steps to exit

This high-engagement ads setting does not apply to partner bidding ad units.

Note:  By default, high-engagement ads are automatically enabled for all your apps.
