Interstitial ads are full-screen ad formats covering the interface of an app and appearing at natural app transition points. Users have the option to skip the ad if they want.

Native ads, sometimes known as ‘recommended content’, or ‘promoted stories’ are a way of advertising content in a way that is ‘native’ to its environment. Different than a traditional banner or display ads, which are clearly separate from the content, native ads will attempt to mimic the surrounding articles and pages. They can be a great tool to increase engagement with your site’s advertising, and when used properly, can be great for income.
You can pick a number of rows after which you want to set the ads.
