EnchantedBelle200 I love this app so much! 💕

Is there any chance you could make it compatible with Tailscale? I use IOS for both apps, and right now I have to turn either AdGuard or Tailscale off to use the other.

FAQ

  • You can choose how many devices you want to protect:
    Personal license covers 3 devices
    Family license covers 9 devices
    You can also choose between 1-year and lifetime licenses.
    AdGuard licenses are universal and work on any device (Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS).
  • We’ve emailed you your license info and further instructions.
    The next step is to activate AdGuard on your device. Check out our Knowledge base for detailed instructions.
  • To use your license on a new device, first remove it for the current device in the License section of your app or in your AdGuard account. Then activate your license on the new device. Check out our Knowledge base for detailed instructions.
  • If you need to protect more than 3 devices, you can upgrade to the Family license.
    Log in to your AdGuard account and click Increase device limit.
    Or go directly to our Extend or upgrade page and enter your activation code manually. Then select the license parameters and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Alternatively, you can simply purchase another Personal license.
  • You can always see your activation codes in your AdGuard account linked to the email address you used for the purchase.
  • Subscriptions purchased from the AdGuard website are renewed automatically.
    However, if you’d like to manually renew your license, or if you purchased an AdGuard license from a reseller, try one of the following options:
    In your AdGuard app, find the License tab and click Renew.
    In your AdGuard account, go to Licenses. Find the license that’s about to expire and click Extend.
    On our website, go to the Extend or upgrade page, enter your activation code, and click Apply.
  • There are several ways to get premium features in AdGuard for iOS:
    1. Buy a subscription from the App Store. In the app, tap Try for free and follow the on-screen instructions. You don’t have to pay right away — try Premium for free for 7 days before purchasing a subscription.
    2. Use an existing AdGuard license. In AdGuard for iOS, go to SettingsLicense and click Log in. Enter your AdGuard account credentials. Alternatively, you can enter your activation code directly in the email field.
    3. Get AdGuard Pro. This is our paid iOS app that comes with premium features already enabled.
  • Most ad blockers are browser extensions that are not technically capable of removing all types of ads. AdGuard can block ads in all browsers and even apps. In addition to ad blocking, AdGuard gives you a lot of extra tools.
  • You can cancel your subscription in your AdGuard account:
    Go to your AdGuard account.
    Go to the Licenses tab.
    Click Cancel subscription for the subscription you no longer need.
    The canceled subscription will be valid until its expiry date.
    For information on managing AdGuard subscriptions, please visit our Knowledge base.
  • We have a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you request a refund within 60 days of your purchase, you can get your money back. To request a refund, contact us at support@adguard.com.
  • This is the official AdGuard website, which uses a secure HTTPS connection between you and our servers. You can check the security of your connection in your browser.
    All transactions are processed through Paddle and PayPro Global. You can review their privacy policies for information on data and transaction security.
    We also have a money-back guarantee. If you don’t like AdGuard, you can request a refund within 60 days of purchase.
  • To purchase a license for more than 9 devices, please contact us at sales@adguard.com.
  • Follow our blog for the latest news and announcements. We regularly run promotions with discounts.
  • If you have any questions, you can contact us 24/7 at support@adguard.com. It’s a good idea to check our FAQ first: it contains answers to 90% of user questions.
  • Sure! You can buy a gift license on a special page of our website. Just enter the recipient’s email address and we’ll send them the license along with a nice gift card. You can also apply discounts to gift licenses.

FAQ

  • An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
  • Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.
    AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
  • We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
  • Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.
    Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.
    AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
  • Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
  • You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:
    A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.
    With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.
    If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.
  • Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
  • We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.
  • If you want to know more about how exactly AdGuard products work, what filters are, how to create your own filtering rules, and more, check out our Knowledge base. For industry news, AdGuard releases, and promos, you can visit our blog. And if you’d like, you can watch our explanatory videos on AdGuard’s YouTube channel or follow us on social media.
  • You can share AdGuard with your friends. Whether you buy more licenses and connect your loved ones to AdGuard, buy a license as a gift, share our posts on social networks, or just advise our products to someone you care about — we’re always glad to show more people how beautiful the safe and ad-free Web is.
    You can rate us in app stores and on our website. That’s how we know we’re on the right track.
    You can also become our contributor: maybe you’re good at translating, know how to improve our filters or the Knowledge base, or want to become a beta tester? We are grateful to our contributors and reward them in return — with AdGuard licenses and gifts.
  • For any questions, you can always contact us at support@adguard.com.

  • An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
  • Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.
    AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
  • We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
  • Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.
    Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.
    AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
  • Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.

    A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.
    With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

No location found – what it means and how to fix it

No location found

You’re checking someone’s location on your iPhone — maybe through iMessage, Find My, or their contact card — and suddenly you see the message: “No location found”.

It’s a short alert, but one that raises questions. Why can’t you see where the person is? Is their phone off? Are they out of signal? Did they stop sharing their location?

This message means your device is currently unable to retrieve the person’s real-time location, usually due to a technical issue — like no Internet, a dead battery, or temporary settings.

But it’s more than just a software hiccup. For many users, this alert shows up in moments that matter — when you’re meeting someone, checking on a friend, or making sure a loved one is safe. Understanding what “No location found” really means can help you react calmly and fix the issue, instead of guessing or assuming the worst.

What does “No location found” actually mean?

“No location found” is a message that appears on iPhones when your device can’t retrieve someone’s real-time location. This usually happens when you're using Find My, viewing a contact’s shared location in iMessage, or checking someone’s contact card. The message indicates that the system tried to access the person’s location but wasn’t able to — often due to poor signal, the person’s device being turned off, or a temporary issue with Apple’s location services.

Where do people usually see this message?

You might see the “No location found” message in Find My when the app is unable to retrieve the location of someone who has shared it with you. It may also be visible below a contact’s name in an iMessage conversation if location sharing is enabled. Additionally, it can appear on a contact card when the system is unable to load the person’s location.

What does “Location not available” mean?

Unlike the “No location found” message, “Location not available” means the person’s location is known by their device, but it's not being shared with you. In other words, the system can locate the device, but you don’t have permission to see it. This usually happens when someone has stopped sharing their location with you, turned off location sharing for Find My, or restricted access through Screen Time or privacy settings.

How is “No location found” different from “Location not available”?

Although these two messages sound similar, they have distinct meanings. “No location found” usually indicates a temporary or technical issue preventing the system from retrieving the location at that moment — for example, lost signal, dead battery, or active airplane mode on the other person’s device. On the other hand, “Location not available” means the person has chosen not to share their location with you or has completely disabled location services. In short, “No location found” reflects a momentary inability to get the location, whereas “Location not available” means access to location is blocked entirely.

How can I tell which one I’m seeing?

The easiest way to tell is by reading the exact wording on your screen — each message points to a different kind of issue.
“No location found” means your device is trying to get the location, but can’t. This usually happens when the other person’s phone is turned off, out of battery, in airplane mode, or has no Internet connection. It’s a technical issue, and often temporary.
“Location not available” means their device knows the location — but it’s not being shared with you. This typically means they’ve stopped sharing their location manually, disabled location sharing in settings, or restricted it through privacy controls like Screen Time.

So while both messages mean you can’t see someone’s location, the reasons behind them are different — one is due to connection problems, the other is a result of a privacy choice.

Why does it matter?

Understanding what “No location found” means is important for communication and safety. If you’re meeting up with someone, trying to check on a friend, or making sure a loved one is safe, seeing this message can be concerning. Knowing whether it’s likely a harmless connection issue or a change in privacy settings can help you decide what to do next — whether that’s waiting, trying a phone call or text, or contacting someone who might be with them.

Why am I seeing “No location found”?

This message indicates that your device is unable to access the other person’s current location. This often happens due to temporary factors such as lack of signal, the other device being turned off or out of battery, or location-sharing settings being disabled.

Can “No location found” appear if the other person’s phone is off?

Yes. If the other person’s iPhone is turned off, Apple’s system can’t access or update their location. Until the device is turned back on and connected to the Internet, the message will continue to appear.

Can a dead battery or low power mode cause “No location found”?

Yes. If the person's battery is dead, their phone turns off completely and stops sharing any location data — which will trigger the “No location found” message. While low power mode doesn't fully disable location sharing, it does limit background activity, which can delay or interrupt location updates. In both cases, the phone becomes harder to track in real time. Restoring power or turning off low power mode can help resume normal location sharing.

Does this happen when location services are turned off?

It can. If location services are disabled on the other person’s device, either system-wide or just for Find My, their location won’t be shared — and you may see “No location found” instead of an actual map location.

Could it be due to a lack of Internet?

Yes. An Internet connection is required to send and receive location data. This can be either Wi-Fi or mobile data — as long as one is working, the location should update. But if the other person’s device has no Internet access at all (for example, it’s out of signal range or in airplane mode), their location won’t be visible to you.

Does their phone need an Internet connection?

Absolutely. For location sharing to work, the device of the person sharing their location must be connected to the Internet — either through Wi-Fi or mobile data. If their phone is in airplane mode, has no signal, or is out of data, it won't be able to send its location. Make sure their device is online.

What if the person is in a place with no signal?

If they’re in a location where there’s no mobile coverage — like a tunnel, an airplane, or a remote area — their phone won’t be able to connect to Apple’s servers to share their location. This often causes the “No location found” message to appear.

Can this happen if someone stops sharing their location?

Yes, but it depends. If someone has manually stopped sharing their location with you, you may still see “Location not available” instead. However, in some cases — especially if sharing was recently turned off — it may briefly show as “No location found” until the system updates.

Can incorrect date and time settings cause “No location found”?

Yes, although it’s less common, wrong date or time settings — either on your device or on the other person’s — can interfere with how location data syncs with Apple’s servers. A mismatch between the two can prevent accurate location sharing or cause delays, resulting in the “No location found” message. To fix this, go to SettingsGeneralDate & Time and ensure that Set Automatically is enabled — this keeps everything in sync and helps to avoid time-related location issues.

Can VPNs or firewalls interfere with location sharing?

Yes, both VPNs and firewalls can affect how location data is shared. Firewalls that restrict certain types of network traffic may block the communication required for services like Apple’s Find My to function properly. Similarly, VPNs — especially low-quality or misconfigured ones — can disrupt location sharing by rerouting Internet traffic through distant servers or masking IP addresses. This can confuse or block location-based services, making it harder (or impossible) for your device to send or receive accurate location data. In some cases, this leads to the “No location found” message appearing on the screen.

Which VPN doesn't interfere with location sharing?

AdGuard VPN is specifically optimized for Apple devices and designed to remain compatible with services like Find My. This is achieved by excluding certain network routes from tunneling — the ones iOS uses for features such as AirDrop, location services, and IP telephony. These routes are predefined in AdGuard VPN settings, though users can manually adjust them via the Low-Level Settings.

Keep in mind that modifying these settings without first consulting our support team may disrupt core iOS features or prevent location sharing from working as intended. We cannot guarantee proper functionality if changes are made independently.

This approach — known as split tunneling — ensures that real-time location data remains accessible when needed without compromising your privacy. Switching to a reliable VPN like AdGuard helps restore the ability to share your location while keeping your connection secure.

How do I know if someone is still sharing their location with me?

You can check by going to “Find My” or opening the person’s contact card in iMessage. If they’ve stopped sharing their location, it will say so clearly. You’ll need to ask them to re-enable sharing if they turned it off by accident or intentionally.

How can I fix “No location found”?

If you're seeing this message in Find My or iMessage, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot it — either on your own device or by asking the person you're trying to locate to check their settings.

Should location services be turned on?

Yes. The most important thing is to make sure Location Services are enabled. Go to SettingsPrivacy & SecurityLocation Services and make sure the toggle is turned on. For location sharing to work, the person you're trying to locate also needs to allow the “Find My” to access their location.

Will a restart help if location sharing stops working?

Yes. Restarting an iPhone can often fix temporary glitches that interfere with location sharing. If either your phone or the other person’s has been running for a long time without a reboot, restarting it may help restore real-time location updates. It’s a simple first step that can resolve unexpected issues without changing any settings.

Should I keep my software up to date?

Yes. Keeping your iPhone’s operating system (iOS) up to date helps ensure that location services — including Find My and iMessage — work reliably. Updates often include important bug fixes and improvements that affect how your phone shares or receives location data. If the system is outdated, it may cause glitches or prevent real-time tracking from working correctly.

Is it helpful to talk to the person I’m trying to locate?

Yes, if you’re able to. Reaching out directly can be the fastest way to understand why their location isn’t showing. They may not realize that location sharing is off, or they might have changed a setting without meaning to. Of course, if their phone is off or out of signal range, you may not get a response right away — but if contact is possible, it often clears things up faster than guessing.

What’s the quickest fix if I don’t know what’s wrong?

When in doubt, try restarting your iPhone and double-check your location services and network settings. It’s a simple step that often fixes temporary bugs, reconnects you to the Internet, and helps reset any glitches that might be preventing accurate location tracking.
