AdGuard for iOS is an open-source ad-blocking and privacy app for iPhone and iPad that blocks ads in Safari via content blocking rules. It also offers configurable DNS settings with encrypted DNS support (DoH, DoT, DNSCrypt) and custom filter subscriptions.

Use cases

  • block ads in Safari on iPhone
  • stop trackers from following me on iOS
  • set up encrypted DNS on iPhone
  • block YouTube ads on iOS
  • use custom filter lists in Safari
  • protect my kids from ads on iPad

When to choose

  • you want a powerful, actively maintained Safari content blocker on iOS
  • you need DNS-level filtering with DoH/DoT/DNSCrypt support on iPhone or iPad
  • you want an open-source ad blocker with custom filter subscriptions

When to avoid

  • you need system-wide ad blocking in native apps rather than Safari and DNS
  • you want an ad blocker for Android, Windows, or desktop browsers
  • you prefer a fully free product without premium features
