4/5Best Adblocker
Straightforward UI thats not overly complicated and easily allows the user to custom choose what protection they would like. AdGuard has also included its own set of rules that have been built from easylist/easyprivacy & fanboy list and specifically customized them for the mobile platform and iOS specifically that can used by themselves, with easylist, or not at all. They give full control to the user, no sponsor ads or paid ads are allowed through. There is a filter that allows self promotion ads like the ones see when using googles search engine, but the user can turn it off and on. If none of AdGuards syntax rules block a specific popup, ad, or third-party widget there’s an option to manually block it and add it to the user filter option so its blocked in the future. Whitelist is also available to turn rules off on certain websites. And the rules update multiple times throughout the day regularly so the latest adblock protection is always used.

5/5Love, love, love!!!
This extension does it all, I’m a victim of identity theft and this has been a God Send. For over ten years someone has sit around watching my ever move through my main email with yahoo. I had this email for over 15 yrs now. These people took every financial account I had and then spent money on everyone. They have accounts with each of the credit bureaus, they have subjected me to countless data breaches, in which they claimed my claim in their names.I have had no relief since August 2020 when I first found out that my identity was stolen. Sorry I’m rambling but I just cannot say enough about this AdGuard, it has given me relief it has given me options in my reliefAnd just when I thought it couldn’t get any better I got an invitation to do the testing! I’m at awe at the work you all have put in to help others, I would have given as many stars as there were if there could be more. My only complaint is I have bought the upgrade and it got stolen because these people are roothless and make aliases to every email account I make, then they take it over. This has happened with many apps and extensions not just this one! However, this one is by far my favorite then and now and probably forever. If you need something g that really works and that is user friendly, I’d urge you to try AdGuard and AdGuard VPN as well it’s a package deal really.

5/5Probably one of the best free ad blockers on IPhone or IOS
Can use it to listen to videos with your screen turned off (a feature that is only on YT Premium) and includes pretty much all the features for videos on the desktop version of YT like looping for example, however for my phone the settings, captions, and volume buttons are pretty small and I’ve accidentally clicked the X button before and had to re-open videos. I use it to listen to YT sleep ambience videos in the night because of the looping and being able to turn the screen off while a video is being played to save power on my phone. If you want to use it for that just go to YT and select the video you want to watch, hit the share button and click AdGuard, it will then send the video into the app, pull out of the screen a little to show a gear icon in the top right corner of the screen, hit More Options and select loop then let the video play for at least 5 seconds before turning your phone off then back on, when you do a bar showing the video should appear and you can begin to hit the play button before turning the phone off or waiting for it to automatically go off. Also you don’t need a subscription for this and there’s really no ads or payment options inside the app itself.

1/5Unprofessional service
I purchased ad guard for life time approximately fews months already. And I enjoyed the powerful ad blocking. However, since the AdGuard, there is always a window popped out in my MAC said apple wants to make some changes. I ignored at first. However I could not stand any note after frequently annoying popped out windows hundreds of times after, and I agreed the change Which disabled the adguard. I tried reset all settings and reinstalled it. It just didn’t work any more. Therefore, I tried to contract with the AdGuard service. One point I want to mention that I was pretty impressive AdGuard service works for 24 hours even in quarantine time. However, the guy was not professional at all. I followed his instructions reset and reinstalled at first which did not work, and he once remotely controlled my Mac, but the problem still didn’t solve. Finally, he left a message said this case is not typical but I will asked for our workers solved it and contacted you at most in 48hours. THIS IS A FAKE PROMISE AGAIN! yes! Before, he just kept giving me fake promise. And this time I waited 4 days already. No replying, and even the phone is not available now. I tried to have my best attitude because I understand their jobs are not easy. But at lease, giving back me a professional attitude and available credit. BECAUSE I SAW THERE WOULD BE LIFE TIME GUARANTEE WHEN I TRUSTED AND PURCHASED LICENSE FOR LIFE TIME WHICH IS NOT CHEAP!!!

5/5We might still have to manually update our filters
I discovered by accident doing many manual updates to the filters that Easylist and EasyPrivacy are updated regularly every four hours. If you don’t see an update on the timestamps at least once a day then that means that all of the bugs are not yet resolved in iOS or the workarounds in AdGuard still need some work. It might just mean that the bugs in iOS have indeed been fixed. And AdGuard needs to put some things back to the way they used to be before they tried to get around the iOS 17 bugs. It’s like getting a new engine part for your vehicle that has bugs. You have to do modifications to the vehicle to get the buggy part to work. Once a new engine part comes in you have to work on the engine once again to make sure that the new correctly working part doesn’t break the engine. Until you have confirmation that your filters are being automatically updated regularly be sure that you manually update them every few hours.

Versions

4.4.4
In this version we’ve updated the filter libraries and fixed the YouTube player on iOS 16. Now you can watch videos ad-free right in the AdGuard app. To do this, tap “Share” in the YouTube app, tap “More”, and select “Block ads on YouTube (by AdGuard)“.
4.4.5
In this version we've significantly updated our DNS filtering library — DnsLibs — so it consumes less resources and runs faster. Besides, the DNS-over-QUIC protocol implementation now supports RFC 9250 (proposed standard), and the experimental status was removed from DoQ support. Finally, we've updated our Safari rules engine and fixed a couple of bugs.
4.4.6
Spring is the time for renewal, and AdGuard products are no exception. We've updated all the libraries used in the app and improved the UI, so now AdGuard for iOS runs smoother and is more user-friendly. Advanced blocking rules acceleration The Advanced Protection feature is something we're proud of and what sets us apart from other content blockers on iOS. With this module, AdGuard for iOS can apply advanced filtering rules that supplement standard Safari content blocking rules and help effectively tackle complex and encrypted ads. However, due to the peculiarities of iOS, the *Advanced Protection* feature’s operation was always limited compared to other versions of AdGuard. For example, some rules applied noticeably later than page load. Sometimes this led to ad "flickering" as it was only hidden after page loading. In other cases, this even prevented certain ads from being blocked. When preparing the new version of AdGuard for iOS, we put in a lot of effort into speeding up the implementation of advanced blocking rules which directly improved the overall app performance. We hope you'll notice the difference. Native support for the :has() pseudo-class With Safari v16.4, content blockers gained the capability to select elements for hiding using the :has() pseudo-class. While this might sound complex and confusing, it's essential to know that this feature is incredibly important to us. It allows for the selection of ad blocks based on their content. Until AdGuard v4.4.6 for iOS, support for the :has() pseudo-class was implemented as part of the Advanced Protection module, available only in paid version. Now, this functionality is available to all AdGuard for iOS users!
4.5
This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.
4.5.1
Fixed an issue on iOS 17 where filters would just update endlessly without actually updating. While we were trying to get to the root of the problem we discovered that it was caused by a bug in iOS itself (content blocker’s crash). It took us a lot of time and effort, but we managed to find a workaround and fix the problem — you can learn more about our solution from AdGuard blog. Also, we updated the dependencies of three components that are essential for efficient blocking: SafariConverterLib, Scriptlets, and TSUrlFilter. Lastly, we reworked DnsLibs (our DNS filtering engine), which significantly improved DNS-over-HTTPS/3 stability, and implemented some other fixes for the app’s better performance.
4.5.10
This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.
4.5.11
This version improves filtering speed and compatibility with the latest filtering rules, delivering more precise and reliable ad blocking. We’ve also adapted to recent changes on YouTube, so you can once again watch streams ad-free in AdGuard’s video browser.
4.5.12
This release brings an updated SafariConverterLib. Rules now load in Safari up to five times faster, and advanced rules are applied more efficiently. Converting rules and enabling filters are now quicker and smoother than ever.
4.5.13
A small bug has crept into the release. That’s why we’re publishing a hotfix today: so you can enjoy the service, and we can get on with some bigger tasks.
4.5.14
“Dear developers, can we get a bugfix pronto?” Of course you can! Right after the release, we serve you a hotfix with a resolved problem and fine-tuned operation.
4.5.15
This update focuses on what matters most: privacy and filtering quality. We’ve added post-quantum cryptography support to DNS (for DoH, DoT, and DoQ) and updated SafariConverterLib to unlock new filtering capabilities and improve rule handling behind the scenes.
4.5.16
The app now runs more smoothly thanks to this minor update, which fixes a number of bugs.
4.5.17
The app now runs more smoothly thanks to this minor update, which fixes a number of bugs.
4.5.18
This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.
4.5.19
We’ve improved DnsLibs, our DNS filtering engine, to ensure more stable and reliable DNS protection.
4.5.2
In this version, we’ve added HTTP basic authentication for DNS-over-HTTPS. This is useful if you have your own DNS server and don’t want someone else to use it. There is a nuance, though: there are not many DNS servers that support this feature right now. But soon they’ll become available in AdGuard Home and AdGuard DNS, so stay tuned! Besides, we’ve fixed minor bugs and updated DnsLibs and Scriptlets.
4.5.20
Filters power your ad blocking — but they need fresh updates to stay strong. This release adds reminders to always keep them up-to-date, effortlessly.
4.5.21 · 1 Jul 2026
This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.
4.5.22 · 26 Aug 2026
This technical update keeps things running smoothly, like warm butter on sourdough.
4.5.3
Important improvements for the DNS protection feature: no more DNS leaks and connection instability when changing networks. Updated libraries that are essential for the app’s performance: DnsLibs, TSUrlFilter and Scriptlets. > Starting with this version, AdGuard for iOS supports only iOS 13 or later.
4.5.4
The app now runs more smoothly thanks to this minor update, which fixes a number of bugs.
4.5.5
With Apple fixing its iOS 17 bug that was limiting the number of Safari content-blocking rules, we removed our temporary workaround for that problem. In short, that means you can finally enable a large number of filters without them crashing, thanks to the fact that all of the 900K rules are available again. Please note that for this fix to work you need to update to the latest iOS (but if you are using iOS 16 and below, this bug doesn’t affect you). Also, we updated Scriptlets — one of the essential libraries needed for the app’s performance.
4.5.6
This update brings a bit of style: iOS 18 introduced customizable app icons, so now they’re available for the AdGuard app as well. To stay true to the branding, we added our own versions for Light, Dark, and Tinted icons instead of just relying on iOS-generated ones.
4.5.7
Ad-free YouTube has returned: we have fixed an issue on iOS 18 that prevented videos from being shared to AdGuard's internal ad-free browser.
4.5.8
This update is just a chill guy that makes the app up to 30x faster. We did some work on Safari Converter, so now AdGuard filtering rules are converted to Safari rules in just 0.5–2 seconds instead of 10–30. You will notice the difference especially when updating, enabling, or disabling filters and turning protection on.
4.5.9
This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.

AdGuard has also included its own set of rules that have been built from easylist/easyprivacy & fanboy list and specifically customized them for the mobile platform and iOS specifically that can used by themselves, with easylist, or not at all. They give full control to the user, no sponsor ads or paid ads are allowed through. There is a filter that allows self promotion ads like the ones see when using googles search engine, but the user can turn it off and on. If none of AdGuards syntax rules block a specific popup, ad, or third-party widget there’s an option to manually block it and add it to the user filter option so its blocked in the future. Whitelist is also available to turn rules off on certain websites. And the rules update multiple times throughout the day regularly so the latest adblock protection is always used.",

For over ten years someone has sit around watching my ever move through my main email with yahoo. I had this email for over 15 yrs now. These people took every financial account I had and then spent money on everyone. They have accounts with each of the credit bureaus, they have subjected me to countless data breaches, in which they claimed my claim in their names.I have had no relief since August 2020 when I first found out that my identity was stolen. Sorry I’m rambling but I just cannot say enough about this AdGuard, it has given me relief it has given me options in my reliefAnd just when I thought it couldn’t get any better I got an invitation to do the testing! I’m at awe at the work you all have put in to help others, I would have given as many stars as there were if there could be more. My only complaint is I have bought the upgrade and it got stolen because these people are roothless and make aliases to every email account I make, then they take it over. This has happened with many apps and extensions not just this one! However, this one is by far my favorite then and now and probably forever. If you need something g that really works and that is user friendly, I’d urge you to try AdGuard and AdGuard VPN as well it’s a package deal really.",

I use it to listen to YT sleep ambience videos in the night because of the looping and being able to turn the screen off while a video is being played to save power on my phone. If you want to use it for that just go to YT and select the video you want to watch, hit the share button and click AdGuard, it will then send the video into the app, pull out of the screen a little to show a gear icon in the top right corner of the screen, hit More Options and select loop then let the video play for at least 5 seconds before turning your phone off then back on, when you do a bar showing the video should appear and you can begin to hit the play button before turning the phone off or waiting for it to automatically go off. Also you don’t need a subscription for this and there’s really no ads or payment options inside the app itself.",

However, since the AdGuard, there is always a window popped out in my MAC said apple wants to make some changes. I ignored at first. However I could not stand any note after frequently annoying popped out windows hundreds of times after, and I agreed the change Which disabled the adguard. I tried reset all settings and reinstalled it. It just didn’t work any more. Therefore, I tried to contract with the AdGuard service. One point I want to mention that I was pretty impressive AdGuard service works for 24 hours even in quarantine time. However, the guy was not professional at all. I followed his instructions reset and reinstalled at first which did not work, and he once remotely controlled my Mac, but the problem still didn’t solve. Finally, he left a message said this case is not typical but I will asked for our workers solved it and contacted you at most in 48hours. THIS IS A FAKE PROMISE AGAIN! yes! Before, he just kept giving me fake promise. And this time I waited 4 days already. No replying, and even the phone is not available now. I tried to have my best attitude because I understand their jobs are not easy. But at lease, giving back me a professional attitude and available credit. BECAUSE I SAW THERE WOULD BE LIFE TIME GUARANTEE WHEN I TRUSTED AND PURCHASED LICENSE FOR LIFE TIME WHICH IS NOT CHEAP!!!",

If you don’t see an update on the timestamps at least once a day then that means that all of the bugs are not yet resolved in iOS or the workarounds in AdGuard still need some work. It might just mean that the bugs in iOS have indeed been fixed. And AdGuard needs to put some things back to the way they used to be before they tried to get around the iOS 17 bugs. It’s like getting a new engine part for your vehicle that has bugs. You have to do modifications to the vehicle to get the buggy part to work. Once a new engine part comes in you have to work on the engine once again to make sure that the new correctly working part doesn’t break the engine. Until you have confirmation that your filters are being automatically updated regularly be sure that you manually update them every few hours.",

      "notes": "Spring is the time for renewal, and AdGuard products are no exception. We've updated all the libraries used in the app and improved the UI, so now AdGuard for iOS runs smoother and is more user-friendly. Advanced blocking rules acceleration The Advanced Protection feature is something we're proud of and what sets us apart from other content blockers on iOS. With this module, AdGuard for iOS can apply advanced filtering rules that supplement standard Safari content blocking rules and help effectively tackle complex and encrypted ads. However, due to the peculiarities of iOS, the *Advanced Protection* feature’s operation was always limited compared to other versions of AdGuard. For example, some rules applied noticeably later than page load. Sometimes this led to ad \"flickering\" as it was only hidden after page loading. In other cases, this even prevented certain ads from being blocked. When preparing the new version of AdGuard for iOS, we put in a lot of effort into speeding up the implementation of advanced blocking rules which directly improved the overall app performance. We hope you'll notice the difference. Native support for the :has() pseudo-class With Safari v16.4, content blockers gained the capability to select elements for hiding using the :has() pseudo-class. While this might sound complex and confusing, it's essential to know that this feature is incredibly important to us. It allows for the selection of ad blocks based on their content. Until AdGuard v4.4.6 for iOS, support for the :has() pseudo-class was implemented as part of the Advanced Protection module, available only in paid version. Now, this functionality is available to all AdGuard for iOS users!"

While we were trying to get to the root of the problem we discovered that it was caused by a bug in iOS itself (content blocker’s crash). It took us a lot of time and effort, but we managed to find a workaround and fix the problem — you can learn more about our solution from AdGuard blog. Also, we updated the dependencies of three components that are essential for efficient blocking: SafariConverterLib, Scriptlets, and TSUrlFilter. Lastly, we reworked DnsLibs (our DNS filtering engine), which significantly improved DNS-over-HTTPS/3 stability, and implemented some other fixes for the app’s better performance."
