What to Know

• Download and set up an ad blocker app. Then, on iPhone: Settings > Safari > Content Blockers ( on ).
• Suggested ad blockers: 1Blocker, Crystal Adblock, Norton Ad Blocker, Purify.

This article explains how to use content blockers to block ads in Safari on iPhones with iOS 9 or higher.

Your phone must have iOS 9 or higher to use content blockers. Update the iPhone OS to ensure it has the most up-to-date version with current security patches.

How to Block Ads on iPhone With Safari

Using an ad blocker for your iPhone means your browser won't download ads. This usually means faster page loads, a longer-lasting battery, and less wireless data usage. If you don't want to see pop-up ads, there is a way to block these ads. Here's how to do so using the Safari web browser for iPhone.

Content blockers are apps that add new features that your default web browser doesn't have. These are like third-party keyboards —separate apps that work inside other apps that support them. This means that to block ads, you need to install at least one of these apps.

Most iPhone content blockers work the same way. When you go to a website, the app checks a list of ad services and servers. If it finds these on the site you're visiting, the app blocks the website from loading those ads on the page. Some apps take a comprehensive approach by blocking the ads and tracking the cookies used by advertisers based on those cookies' URLs .

How to Install Content Blocking Apps

To block ads with Safari content blocker apps, install the app, and then enable it from the iPhone Settings app.

Go to the App Store and download a content-blocking app to your iPhone. The example here is Norton Ad Blocker, but all ad-blocking apps work similarly. See the list below for other suggested apps.

Open the ad blocker app and follow the instructions to set it up. Every app is different, but each offers instructions to turn on the ad-blocking abilities.

On the iPhone home screen, open the Settings app.

Select Safari > Content Blockers .

Move the toggle switch next to the ad-blocker app you installed to On (green).

Choose an Ad-Blocking Plug-In for Safari

There is a sizable market for ad-blocking Safari plug-ins. The following options can get you started:

• 1Blocker : Free, with in-app purchases. In addition to more than 50,000 built-in blocker rules, this app supports custom rules to block sites and cookies and to hide other elements.
• Crystal Adblock : At $0.99, the developer claims that this ad blocker loads pages four times faster and uses 50 percent less data. This app also lets you opt to view ads on some sites to support those sites.
• Norton Ad Blocker : This free ad-blocking app from the company behind the popular and long-running antivirus software also lets you add exceptions.
• Purify : Grab this content blocker for $1.99 to block ads and tracking software. It includes a list (typically called a whitelist) to allow you to see ads on some sites if you like. According to the developer, after blocking Safari ads with this app, you can expect a fourfold increase in page load speeds and your web browsing data usage to be cut in half.

How to Block Pop-Ups on the iPhone Using Built-In Tools

Ad-blocking apps can block all kinds of ads and trackers used by advertisers. If you only want to block intrusive pop-ups, you don't need to download an app because pop-up blocking is a built-in feature in Safari. Here's what you need to do:

On the iPhone home screen, select Settings > Safari .

Toggle the Block Pop-ups switch to On (green), if it isn't already.

You can enable the Safari pop-up blocker on your computer, too.

The main benefit of blocking ads is that you don't see advertising. However, there are other key benefits to using these anti-advertisement apps:

• Websites load faster : Ads are extra elements on the page that have to load, and ads often stream video or play animations. It takes time for the page to fully download and often causes other things like non-ad images and videos to take longer to display.
• You'll be more secure : Many ads are vectors for malware. Infected ads hit a network, even a legitimate one, to disrupt your device.
• You use less data : When you no longer see ads, you won't use your monthly data allowances to load ads. Some ad-blocking apps claim to save you lots of data. While their numbers may be inflated, you'll reduce your data usage to some degree because ad images and videos don't download to your phone.
• A longer-lasting battery : Downloading ads, just like downloading anything in Safari, requires energy. One way to have a longer-lasting battery is to stop downloading so much data, which is what happens when you use an ad blocker.

Why You Shouldn't Block Ads

One downside you might encounter when you block ads on your iPhone is that some websites don't load properly. Some sites detect whether their ads load, and if ads don't load, you can't use the site until you unblock their ads.

Almost every site on the internet makes the majority of its money by showing advertising to its readers. If the ads are blocked, the site doesn't get paid. The money made from advertising pays writers and editors, funds server and bandwidth costs, buys equipment, pays for photography and travel, and more. Without that income, it's possible that a site you visit every day could go out of business. Consider supporting your favorite sites by whitelisting them, so ads on those sites still display.

Best ad blockers for iPhone and iPad in 2022

If you're tired of all the ads but don't want to use Reader View every time you surf the web, you can add content blockers to your iPhone or iPad, which will put them out of sight and help keep your activities private while you're online.

Ad blockers work in Safari and are only available on devices that support 64-bit architecture. In order to use an ad blocker after you've downloaded it, you'll need to enable it in Settings on your iPhone or iPad.

How to block ads on your iPhone and iPad

Here are the best ad blockers for iPhone and iPad.

• AdBlock Pro

1Blocker is really customizable. You can set different rules for blocking ads, trackers, cookies, website comments, Twitter and Facebook widgets, adult websites, and more. Plus, you can add your favorite sites to the Whitelist ( ahem , iMore) and block specific websites from access at all. You can also customize whether to block or allow cookies and page elements from specific sites.

1Blocker is free to download, but it's really more of a trial version. For a $4.99 in-app purchase, you'll be able to unlock the ability to use more than one feature at a time. If your ad-blocking needs are minimal, you'll have a great experience with the free download and just blocking ads or trackers. But if you're looking at 1Blocker, it's probably because you want the advanced features, like custom rules, a Whitelist extension for Safari, and iCloud syncing so your ad block settings are synced across all your iOS devices.

If you really want to customize your web browsing experience, and like the idea of being able to set up rules for different websites, the full, in-app purchase of 1Blocker is worth it.

If you want a simple ad blocker for iOS Safari, then you should give Wipr a try. This lightweight blocker provides hassle-free blocking just by activating it. Wipr automatically updates itself to make sure that you don't see unwanted ads. However, due to the barebones simplicity that Wipr is known for, you won't find any customizable settings or whitelist options for the sites that you want to support. And best of all, Wipr does not take money in order to let certain ads show up, unlike some other ad blockers that have caused controversy in the past.

Wipr also has an active developer who is always available for support if you have issues.

AdBlock Pro can even bypass those anti-adblock detectors, sync your settings between devices via iCloud, and much more.

AdBlock Pro is a beefy ad-blocker that gives you a ton of options to improve your online experience. It may have a higher price tag than you would expect, but it's well worth the cost to have a little less annoyance in your online life.

Introducing the All-New AdBlock for Safari

AdBlock’s Blog

We know that AdBlock for Safari has gone mostly untouched by our team for a few years. And that’s just changed! We’re excited to announce that the all-new AdBlock for Safari app is officially here. It’s been completely revamped and there are many changes we hope our users will enjoy.

These changes include:

A More User-Friendly Interface with Dark Mode

AdBlock for Safari has had a major face lift. It’s modern and easier to navigate, and now offers a new feature called “Online Health.” Online Health allows you to see how healthy your internet connection is in terms of online security . With this tool, you’re able to have more control over your internet connection by assessing your health score. You can up this score by using both ad blocking and VPN features to ensure that your connection is encrypted, private, and safe from snoops.

The new interface also comes with dark mode, reducing the amount of light coming from your screen while allowing the app to remain visible. And it’s perfect for those users that prefer darker shades as they use their Mac.

Improved Ad Blocking Functionality

Along with a new look comes better ad blocking. AdBlock for Safari will now have more regular updates to its filter lists . This means we’ll be able to address any ads that circumvent our ad blocker more quickly, and be able to block more ads for our users overall.

And what’s even more exciting is that custom allow lists will now be part of basic ad blocking. That means they’re now free! With custom allow lists, you’ll be able to allow ads on specific sites of your choice, giving you more control over your browsing experience.

Integration with AdBlock VPN

You can now upgrade and manage AdBlock VPN right from the AdBlock for Safari mac app. And using AdBlock VPN will increase your Online Health score, giving you confirmation that your internet connection is well protected.

If you’re unsure of what a VPN is, it’s a great tool for your online security toolkit. VPNs (also called virtual private networks) allow you to connect to the internet privately. They create an encrypted connection, often referred to as a ‘tunnel,’ between your devices and the VPN servers. All of your internet traffic is routed through that secure tunnel, keeping your data encrypted and your personal information secure. This keeps your data safe from third party snoops and hackers.

With AdBlock VPN, you can:

• Browse the web anonymously. Your web traffic is routed through AdBlock VPN servers and each time you connect, your IP address is replaced with a new address from AdBlock VPN’s network of virtual locations, allowing you to hide your online identity .
• Access unblocked content. Need access to a website or content that’s blocked by location? Our VPN allows you to connect to the internet through different servers all over the world. This may allow you to avoid censorship in some regions, and access the content you want from wherever you are.
• Connect safely to public Wi-Fi. AdBlock VPN helps reduce the vulnerability associated with connecting to a public Wi-Fi hotspot by creating an encrypted connection between your device and the web, making it more difficult for anyone to track or monitor you without your consent.
• Connect up to six devices . Use up to six devices with AdBlock VPN, including Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS devices. The AdBlock VPN interface makes it easy to connect, manage, and remove your devices.

We’re excited for you to give the new AdBlock for Safari a try! If you’re already a user, your app will automatically update as long as you’ve left the “Auto-update Apps” feature on in the app store. And if you’re not already a user, simply head to the Mac App store to download the app. We’re here for you if you have any questions or feedback at [email protected] .

Ads are the most annoying part of accessing the internet from your iPhone. I get it! If you are tired of stumbling upon an ad every few seconds, I have curated a list of the best ad blockers for iPhone and iPad. They will not only enhance your surfing experience but also prevent tracking of your online activities. But before you get to the list, let’s learn more about these blockers.

Where can I block ads using ad blockers on iPhone?

You can block ads on iPhone and iPad for Safari browser only. The feature is supported for devices with 64-bit architecture. Here’s how you can block pop-up ads using Safari settings on iPhone and iPad.

• In the Settings app on your iPhone and iPad, locate and tap Safari .
• Now toggle on Block Pop-ups and Fraudulent Website Warning .

Note : The setting, as it says, will only help you block pop-up windows and prevent fraudulent websites. This doesn’t completely block ads from your online journey.

Hence, if you want to block all forms of ads on iPhone and iPad completely, you’d need third-party apps to do so. To help you learn about the same and install them on your device, I have prepared a list of the 5 best iPhone adblocker apps. Let’s have a look.

What are the best ad blockers for iPhone and iPad?

• Ad Blocker: Safari Adblock
• Adblock Plus
• Avast Secure Browser

1. 1Blocker: Privacy & Ad Blocke‪r

The application has proven its expertise in blocking ads, trackers, and other annoying elements on sites you visit. Being a native app, 1Blocker serves you impeccably and getting rid of all of them, and offers a smooth experience while surfing the web. It also delivers a range of customization options to empower your security and privacy further.

While there’s a premium version, as part of its free services, you can use features like enabling anyone blocking category, allowlist sites through Safari extension, and sync devices using iCloud.

Price : Free (In-app purchases starting $1.99)

Compatibility : iOS/iPadOS 13.0 or later

2. AdGuard: adblock&privac‪y

The app allows you to remove all forms of ads from your Safari browser and eventually boost its performance by making it 4x faster. You’ll also experience a significant increase in battery life by blocking banners and ads from your Safari browser and reducing data consumption.

All of this and much more is attained using more than 50 subscriptions, including easylist, easyprivacy, etc., combined with AdGuards in-house robust ad-filters. The app also offers a premium version, which further adds features like custom filters, DNS privacy, security filters, etc.

Price : Free (In-app purchases starting $0.99)

Compatibility : iOS/iPadOS 11.2 or later

3. AdLock: Ads & Adware removal

AdLock is a comprehensive ad-blocker for your iPhone and iPad that prevents all kinds of ads on Safari while being resource-efficient. It’s a breeze to set up and use with minimal effort needed on your part.

You can enjoy a distraction-free reading experience on the web and get rid of annoying video and audio ads on services like Youtube, Twitch, Crunchyroll, etc.

It can even bypass ad-block walls that prevent you from viewing content if using a generic ad-blocking tool. Pretty nifty! 

Further, AdLock keeps you safe from third-party trackers, adware/malware attacks, all forms of online tracking scripts, and bugs run by advertisers like Google, Facebook, and others.

It stops you from visiting malicious websites and protects against viruses, phishing attacks, and scammers. 

What’s more? You can fully customize it to allow ads on specific sites and select which kind of ads to block. All this makes it well worth the small annual price. 

Price : Free (Yearly subscription for $4.99)

Compatibility : iOS/iPadOS 12.1 or later 

4. Ad Blocker: Safari Adblock

AdBlocker lets you enjoy browsing Safari and work efficiently without ads and pop-ups. Also, you can have peace of mind as all web trackers will be blocked, thereby ensuring protection for your data. You can also use the feature on websites in various languages, and not just English. Besides, it boosts web surfing by using minimal device resources and conserves battery life and Wi-Fi/cellular data.

Moreover, parents can use it to prevent teenagers from visiting restricted sites. If you don’t want to block ads on any particular site, you may add that to the white list. Other than blocking ads and trackers, the app bans malicious websites that may affect your device. If you want the advanced features, you may purchase the premium versions.

Price : Free (In-app purchases starts from $1.99)

Compatibility : iOS 13.0 or later

5. Adblock Plus for Safari (ABP‪)

The ad-blocking app for iPhone and iPad is free of cost and has no hidden price with it. However, this doesn’t let it compromise with features and user-privacy. It boasts more than 50 million users worldwide.

Perhaps this is why it offers a custom language setting to block region-specific ads. The app is easy to set up and helps you save battery life by blocking ads and other hindrances in your online experience. Also, you get to take the benefit of its in-built privacy protection using anti-tracking.

Price : Free

Compatibility : iOS/iPadOS 10.0 or later

The app is designed to block trackers, ads, GDPR notices, EU cookies, cryptocurrency miners, and everything else that may compromise your privacy and hinder your online experience. It utilizes an enhanced blocklist to prevent trackers from fetching your data and other activities.

The best part about the app is they allow nothing from anyone (even against money) and follow a strict ‘No ads’ policy. Not just this, the blocklist gets updated every quarter to enhanced protection and privacy in the consistently changing webspace.

Price : $1.99

Compatibility : iOS/iPadOS 12.0 or later

7. Avast Secure Browse‪r

Most of us have heard or used the app at least once. However, we’ve known it for its protection against viruses and malware. This Avast app offers all-around protection, including VPN , ad-blocker, and data encryption. It boasts more than 400 million users and offers features including automatic privacy, faster browsing without ads, robust encryption, built-in VPN, custom browsing modes, private video downloader, cross-platform sync, etc.

Price : Free (In-app purchases starting $1.49)

Most ad blocker apps offer the same features. However, the difference comes with some new features, price, and interface. If I have to name one, I’ll count Avast considering its additional features and vivid price range.

This is one misconception many people have. Ad blockers neither track you nor record your browsing history or fetch your data.

Ad-blockers don’t do it directly. However, they prevent you from viruses and malware that may attack your device through ads.

If you are accessing YouTube through your Safari browser and have an ad blocker installed, you can block the ads. However, for the YouTube app, ad blockers can’t help. To block ads in the YouTube app, you need to subscribe to YouTube Premium.

You can use third-party apps like adblocker to block ads on your iPhone apps. I would suggest you check the app description first, as not all ad-blocking apps offer mobile apps functionality. You may also have to pay an amount to unlock this feature.

Ready for an ad-free experience?

I have tried covering all possible ways you can block ads on iPhone and iPad. It’s important to acknowledge that the new iOS privacy policy refrains apps and websites to track your online activities. It does not stop them from showing ads. For an ultimate experience, you’ll have to install a third-party app. I hope one out of the listed five will match your expectations.

Let me know which worked out for you or if you have any questions in the comments below.

While ads are an excellent way to keep resources free, they can take up too much space or spoil the browsing experience. This is one of the reasons ad blockers are a welcome addition. However, some websites don’t work properly when ad blockers are used. In this case, you can turn off the AdBlock in Safari.

When you turn off ad block in Safari, you essentially disable anything that can stop the ads. This includes the built-in content blockers and any added extensions. But can you disable the ad blockers in Safari for a single website? Let’s find out.

Should You Disable AdBlock in Safari and What Happens When You Do

Before we go ahead and disable ad blockers in Safari, let us quickly look at what happens when the full force of ads is finally unleashed on your browser.

• Websites may load slowly: Ad blockers eliminate any extra ad content on the page, allowing sites to load faster. However, when they’re turned off, it might cause certain sites to load slowly as they load with the ads.
• Trackers enabled: Certain website ads and other page elements contain trackers that help websites track your activity. While most ad blockers usually disable them, they will be enabled again once you remove the ad blockers.
• Websites will load normally: Website elements might be picked up by ad blockers as ads, causing them to hide. This can cause websites to break or not load properly once the ad blockers are enabled.
• Lifting restrictions: Some websites actively check if you’re using ad blockers. Once detected, they keep asking you to support them or stop you from accessing the site content until you disable the ad blocker and reload the page.
• Support the Creators: While ads can be a nightmare, they can be extremely helpful in supporting the creator behind the website. Especially if they’re an independent entity. So, occasionally, it is good to turn off ad blockers to support your favorite websites.

While the reasons to enable or disable ad blockers can be many, it all comes down to your requirements. If the ad blockers are interfering with website content or are entirely blocked, you will have no option but to disable them.

How to Disable Safari AdBlocker on iPhone and iPad

The ease of using extensions in Safari on your iPhone and iPad to block ads helps make the online browsing experience easy. However, these extensions can also adversely affect and block important page elements. To prevent that, here’s how to disable ad blockers in Safari on your iPhone and iPad.

1. Using Individual Website Settings

Step 1: Open Safari on your iPhone. Then, tap on the aA icon in the address bar.

Step 2: Tap on Manage Extensions.

Step 3: Here, turn off the toggle for the relevant ad block extensions.

Step 4: Then, tap on Done.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll down and tap on Safari.

Step 2: Then tap on Extensions.

Step 3: Here, tap on the relevant ad block extension.

Step 4: Turn off the toggle for Allow Extension.

If your browser still blocks ads or other page elements, try turning off content and privacy restrictions. This will ensure your device’s settings are not interfering with Safari. Here’s how.

Step 2: Here, scroll down and tap on ‘Content & Privacy Restrictions’.

Step 3: Turn off the toggle for ‘Content & Privacy Restrictions’.

How to Remove Ad Blocker in Safari on Mac

Similar to your iPhone and iPad, you can also use extensions in Safari on your Mac to block ads. Additionally, you can also use native content blockers to achieve the same feat. In this case, you must first turn off the content blockers and uninstall the extensions. This will help do away with ad blockers in Safari on your Mac. Here’s how:

1. Using Website Settings

Step 1: Open Safari and go to the menu options. Here, click on Safari.

Step 2: Then click on Settings.

Step 3: From the menu options, select Websites.

Step 4: Then click on Content Blockers from the left-side menu.

Step 5: Here, use the currently opened website’s drop-down menu and change it to Off. This will help you disable ad block on many websites at once.

Step 6: Or, if you wish to disable it for all the websites, go down and click on the ‘When visiting other websites’ drop-down.

Step 7: Then, select Off.

This will disable the native content blockers for all websites, regardless of whether they’re currently open. If you have any external ad block extensions installed, they will continue to function accordingly. In this case, use the extensions settings to disable them separately. Here’s how.

2. Disabling Extensions

Step 1: Open Safari on your Mac. Then, from the menu options, click on Safari.

Step 2: Here, click on Settings.

Step 3: Click on Extensions to see the currently installed extensions.

Step 4: Here, click on the ad blocker extension you wish to remove.

Step 5: Click on Uninstall.

Repeat these steps to uninstall any other ad blocker in Safari on your Mac.

3. For a Single Site

Step 1: Open Safari on Mac and go to the relevant website.

Step 2: Then, click on Safari from the menu options and click on Settings for the website.

Step 3: Here, uncheck the Enable content blockers option.

This should immediately remove the ad blocker for the selected site. You can reload the page if you still can’t see any ads or the website content doesn’t load properly.
