Hide or show an app in AdMob

This information is for AdMob users only. AdMob is a mobile app advertising platform for app developers. If you don't have an AdMob account, we recommend you:
Note: Once you set up an app in AdMob, you can't delete it. Instead, you can remove ad units to ensure your app is no longer monetizing with AdMob.  

Changing the visibility of an app only affects where the app can be seen in AdMob.

App visibility does not affect ad serving, revenue, or reporting and doesn't delete your app. Hidden apps may continue to generate revenue, stats, and analytics.

Hidden apps will no longer appear in your list of apps. Hidden apps are marked with the Hidden icon icon.

Note: If you also use Ad Manager, an app's visibility in AdMob is the same as your app's status in Ad Manager.
 
For example, if you update the status of an app to "Visible" in AdMob, it will update to "Active" in Ad Manager. An app cannot be “visible” in AdMob but “inactive” in Ad Manager.
