Overview

Interstitial ads are full-screen advertisements that appear between content transitions in apps, capturing attention at natural pause points in user experience.

Interstitial Ads : Full Definition Interstitial ads are full-screen ad units displayed at natural transition points within apps, between game levels, after completing an action, or during content loading.

They're served within the app's own experience (not in social feeds) and take over the entire screen before the user can continue.

Interstitials are a primary monetization format for free-to-play mobile games and apps.
