AdMob offers various controls to review and block ads in your apps. These include category, advertiser URL, app install ads, and several other settings. Blocking controls may be applied to a single app or to your entire AdMob account. This article explains how you can prevent app install ads (also known as "click-to-download" ads) and app re-engagement ads for specific apps from showing up by using blocking controls.
