AdGuard per iOS 4.5.7
Data di rilascio: 29 ottobre 2024
In seguito al rilascio della versione 4.5.6, abbiamo scoperto che la condivisione dei video di YouTube nel browser interno di AdGuard senza pubblicità era impossibile su iOS 18. Abbiamo risolto il problema e ora è possibile godere di YouTube senza inserzioni.
Changelog
Correzioni
L'apertura dei video di YouTube nel browser interno di AdGuard senza pubblicità non funziona su iOS 18 #2387
AdGuard per iOS 4.5.6
Data di rilascio: 23 ottobre 2024
Questo update porta un po’ di stile: iOS 18 ha presentato gli icone personalizzabili per le app , quindi ora sono disponibile per le applicazioni AdGuard. Per rimanere fedeli al marchio, abbiamo aggiunto le nostre versioni per le icone chiare, scure e colorate, invece di affidarci a quelle generate da iOS.

AdGuard per iOS 4.5.5
Data di rilascio: 3 luglio 2024
Apple ha risolto il bug di iOS 17 che limitava il numero di regole di blocco dei contenuti di Safari, contraddicendo la documentazione dell'API di blocco dei contenuti di Safari. Questo ci permette di rimuovere il nostro workaround temporaneo per questo problema. In breve, ciò significa che è finalmente possibile attivare un gran numero di filtri senza che questi si blocchino, grazie al fatto che tutte le 900 000 regole (fornite da 6 blocchi di contenuti AdGuard) sono nuovamente disponibili, come si suppone. Inoltre, abbiamo aggiornato Scriptlets — una delle biblioteche essenziali per le prestazioni dell'app.
Se stai usando iOS 17, noti che per far funzionare questa soluzione è necessario aggiornare all'ultima versione di iOS.
Se stai usando iOS 16 e versioni successive, questo bug non ti riguarda

AdGuard per iOS 4.5.3
Data di rilascio: 12 aprile 2024
Questa versione apporta importanti miglioramenti alla funzione di protezione DNS: grazie all'aggiornamento di DnsLibs, non ci sono più fughe di DNS e instabilità della connessione quando si cambiano le reti. Abbiamo inoltre aggiornato altre due librerie essenziali per le prestazioni dell'applicazione: TSUrlFilter e Scriptlets.
A partire da questa versione, AdGuard per iOS supporta solo iOS 13 o successivi.

AdGuard per iOS 4.5.2
Data di rilascio: 11 dicembre 2023
In questa versione, abbiamo aggiunto l'autenticazione di base HTTP per DNS-over-HTTPS. Ciò è utile se si dispone di un proprio server DNS e non si vuole che qualcun altro lo usi. C'è però una sfumatura: al momento non ci sono molti server DNS che supportano questa funzione. Ma presto saranno disponibili in AdGuard Home e AdGuard DNS, quindi rimani sintonizzato!

AdGuard per iOS 4.5.1
Data di rilascio: 2 novembre 2023
Questo aggiornamento non apporta grandi cambiamenti, tuttavia quelli che apporta sono ancora piuttosto importanti, soprattutto perché a quanto pare abbiamo trovato un bug di iOS 17 come prodotto secondario della preparazione di questa versione.
Apple, cosa è successo al promesso limite di 150k regole di blocco dei contenuti in Safari?
L'attenzione principale va alla risoluzione di un problema su iOS 17 in cui i filtri si aggiornavano all'infinito senza essere effettivamente aggiornati e, a sorpresa, il problema di fondo si è rivelato essere dal lato di iOS: l'utilizzo dei nostri blocchi dei contenuti standard di Safari con regole di filtraggio da 150k ha improvvisamente iniziato a causare un crash su iOS 17. Abbiamo scoperto che questo accadeva perché Safari non accettava più file di dimensioni superiori a una certa soglia: anche i blocchi dei contenuti con regole da 40-60k (ovvero 3 volte inferiori al limite) a volte si bloccavano, a seconda delle regole che contenevano.
Come misura temporanea, abbiamo limitato le dimensioni dei nostri file JSON e ottimizzato i filtri principali in modo che possano rientrare in questo nuovo requisito di dimensioni. Se un blocco dei contenuti è ancora un po' troppo grande per Safari (la dimensione finale dipende da quanti e quali filtri sono abilitati dall'utente), ne riduciamo automaticamente le dimensioni in modo da applicare almeno una parte delle regole che soddisfano i requisiti di dimensione.
E poiché si tratta di un evidente bug di iOS 17, lo abbiamo già segnalato sul forum di Apple.
Troverai più informazioni sul soggetto nell’ articolo di blog sulla v4.5.1.
Altri miglioramenti
Inoltre, abbiamo aggiornato le dipendenze di SafariConverterLib, Scriptlets e TSUrlFilter. In parole povere, l'aggiornamento di questi tre componenti contribuisce a mantenere un'elevata qualità di filtraggio, ossia prestazioni efficienti e aggiornate delle regole di blocco. SafariConverterLib converte le regole di filtraggio di AdGuard in regole di blocco dei contenuti di Safari, Scriptlets e TSUrlFilter aiutano a implementare la funzione Blocco avanzato di AdGuard per iOS.
Infine, ma non meno importante, due cose: L'aggiornamento v2.3 di DnsLibs migliora le prestazioni e la stabilità del DNS-over-HTTP/3 di AdGuard, e abbiamo anche risolto il problema per cui AdGuard non si apriva su iOS 13.x.
Changelog

AdGuard per iOS 4.5.0
Data di rilascio: 5 luglio 2023
Siamo lieti di annunciare il release di AdGuard v4.5 per iOS, che include importanti modifiche e nuove funzionalità.
Protezione di tracciamento a livello di sistema
AdGuard v4.5 per iOS ora include la protezione dal tracciamento a livello di sistema, che consente di bloccare i tracker in-app che possono raccogliere discretamente i dati degli utenti. Siamo orgogliosi di presentarvi questo grande risultato.
In questa versione, abbiamo aggiunto statistiche sulle richieste bloccate all'app (vedere la scheda Attività). Abbiamo modificato i contatori nella schermata principale per mostrare quanti tracker sono stati bloccati e quanto traffico è stato risparmiato.
Supporto di DNS-over-HTTP/3
In AdGuard v4.5 per iOS, abbiamo aggiunto il supporto per DNS-over-HTTP/3 grazie all'aggiornamento di DnsLibs. DNS-over-HTTP/3 è una versione più recente del protocollo DNS-over-HTTPS. AdGuard è stato uno dei primi a supportarlo, come Google e Cloudflare.
In questa versione, abbiamo aggiunto all'applicazione le statistiche sulle richieste bloccate (vedere la scheda Attività). Abbiamo modificato i contatori nella schermata principale per mostrare quanti tracker sono bloccati e quanto traffico viene salvato.
Inoltre, se ora si installa AdGuard per iOS o si ripristinano le impostazioni predefinite, il filtro DNS di AdGuard sarà già abilitato. Cosa significa questo per te? Se si attiva la protezione DNS, AdGuard inizierà a bloccare automaticamente gli annunci e i tracker in tutte le app, non solo in Safari. Non importa quale server si utilizzi: il traffico DNS verrà comunque filtrato.

AdGuard per iOS 4.4.6
Data di rilascio: 11 aprile 2023
La primavera è il momento del rinnovamento e i prodotti AdGuard non fanno eccezione.
Abbiamo aggiornato tutte le librerie utilizzate nell'app e lavorato sull'interfaccia utente: ora AdGuard per iOS funziona meglio ed è più facile da usare.
Accelerazione delle regole avanzate
La funzione Protezione avanzata è un elemento di cui siamo particolarmente soddisfatti e che ci distingue dagli altri bloccatori di contenuti su iOS. Con questo modulo, AdGuard per iOS può applicare regole di filtraggio avanzate che integrano le regole standard di blocco dei contenuti di Safari e aiutano ad affrontare efficacemente annunci complessi e criptati.
Tuttavia, a causa delle peculiarità di iOS, il funzionamento della funzione Protezione avanzata è sempre stato limitato rispetto ad altre versioni di AdGuard. Ad esempio, alcune regole venivano applicate con un ritardo notevole rispetto al caricamento della pagina. A volte questo portava a uno "sfarfallio" degli annunci, che venivano nascosti solo dopo il caricamento della pagina. In altri casi, ciò impediva persino il blocco di alcuni annunci.
Durante la preparazione della nuova versione di AdGuard per iOS, ci siamo impegnati a fondo per accelerare l'implementazione delle regole di blocco avanzate, migliorando così le prestazioni complessive dell'applicazione. Ci auguriamo che noterete la differenza.
Supporto nativo per :has() pseudo-class
Con Safari v16.4, i blocchi dei contenuti hanno acquisito la capacità di selezionare gli elementi da nascondere utilizzando la pseudo-class
:has(). Sebbene possa sembrare complesso e confuso, è essenziale sapere che questa funzione è incredibilmente importante per noi. Permette di selezionare i blocchi di annunci in base al loro contenuto. Fino alla versione 4.4.6 di AdGuard per iOS, il supporto per la pseudo-classe
:has() era implementato come parte del modulo Protezione avanzata, disponibile solo nella versione a pagamento. Ora questa funzionalità è disponibile per tutti gli utenti di AdGuard per iOS!Changelog

Data di rilascio: 24 novembre 2022
In questa versione abbiamo aggiornato seriamente la nostra biblioteca di filtraggio DNS — DnsLibs — per cui consuma meno risorse e funziona più velocemente.
Inoltre, l’implementazione di protocollo DNS-over-QUIC ora supporta RFC 9250 (norma proposta), ed il stato sperimentale è stato rimosso dal supporto DoQ.
Per concludere, abbiamo aggiornato il motore delle regole di Safari e risolto un paio di bug.

AdGuard per iOS 4.4.1
Data di rilascio: 3 agosto 2022
Questo è il primo aggiornamento di AdGuard per iOS da quando è stato cambiato l'account dello sviluppatore. Si noti che potrebbe essere necessario riattivare il blocco dei contenuti di AdGuard nelle impostazioni di Safari e controllare gli aggiornamenti dei filtri nell'app.
AdGuard per iOS 4.4.0
Data di rilascio: 8 maggio 2022
Ecco AdGuard v4.4.0 per iOS! In questa versione abbiamo corretto un solo (ma molto irritante) errore di funzionamento del modulo di filtraggio AdGuard DNS cambiando la rete. Ora il software sta funzionando senza errori e noi possiamo rilassarci un po’. Speriamo che la nuova versione ti piacerà.
Changelog
AdGuard per iOS 4.3.3
Data di rilascio: 2 marzo 2022
Questo aggiornamento è piccolo ma tuttavia importante : le correzioni che abbiamo fatto miglioreranno decisamente il funzionamento di AdGuard. In questa versione abbiamo migliorato il filtraggio DNS per farlo più stabile nelle condizioni della connessione Internet cattiva. Abbiamo corretto un bug che non lasciava aggiornare i filtri nella versione beta di iOS 15.4 e anche un paio di crash nel background. E abbiamo anche aggiunto alcuni miglioramenti minori per rendere l’uso di AdGuard più comodo.

[Enhancement] Added a new action extension for blocking YouTube ads in Safari #1763
The new extension is designed specifically to block ads on YouTube in Safari and runs only there. Unlike the shortcut, the extension is built into the app, so you don’t need to install it manually. To block ads on YouTube, tap the “Share” button and select “Block ads on YouTube (by AdGuard).” After that, the “with AdGuard” caption will appear next to the YouTube logo. If it’s not there, you’ve probably reloaded the page and need to activate the extension again.

AdGuard per iOS 4.1.0
Data di rilascio: 18 febbraio 2021
Long time ago scientists discovered an interesting phenomenon. While we typically think that what we most want is to actually get what we want, the most intense source of pleasure is in looking forward to getting what we want. That's the dopamine system, also known as the wanting system.
It's been months since Apple added native DNS encryption support to iOS and you might've thought that we at AdGuard just have been lazy not adding support too? Not at all! We've just been trying to follow science and provide you with as much pleasure as possible. Finally, the intensification period ends and catharsis begins!
Native support for encrypted DNS #1589
So in 2020 Apple platforms started natively supporting encrypted DNS. Namely, two protocols were supported — DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoT and DoH). Earlier you could set up and manage DNS profiles in AdGuard. Yet, the solution wasn’t so snorky. Now we've made things simple: there is no need to download and install DNS profiles, just enable Native implementation in AdGuard for iOS settings:
The new method of setting up DNS isn't really superior to the one you're already familiar with, but it has one slight advantage: the DNS is handled by the system and not the app. This means that AdGuard doesn't have to create a local VPN. Sadly, this will not help you circumvent system restrictions and use AdGuard alongside other VPN-based applications — if any VPN is enabled, native DNS is ignored. Consequently, you won't be able to filter traffic locally or to use our brand new DNS-over-QUIC protocol (DoQ).
Social login 📲 #1507
Now the Google login widget is present in the app (AdGuard > Settings > License > Login). A single click on a Google Sign-in button, and you're there!
For a successful login, you should have an AdGuard account registered to your Google email address. Otherwise, there will be an error.
Don't have an AdGuard account? Create one at my.adguard.com first, then you'll be able to bind it to your Google account.
Low-level stuff. ☢ For geeks only!! 🤓
Blocking mode, Block IPv6, Blocked response TTL, Bootstrap and Fallback servers — all settings on this screen are new, except for the Tunnel mode.
Bootstrap and Fallback
Fallback is simply a backup DNS server. If you chose a DNS server and something happened to it (whatever the reason), a fallback is needed to set the backup DNS server until the main server responds.
With Bootstrap, it’s a little more complicated. For AdGuard for iOS to use a custom secure DNS server, our app needs to get its IP address first. For this purpose, the system DNS is used by default, but sometimes this is not possible for various reasons. In such cases, Bootstrap could be used to get the IP address of the selected secure DNS server. Here are two examples to illustrate when a custom Bootstrap server might help:
When a system default DNS server does not return the IP address of a secure DNS server and it is not possible to use a secure one.
When our app and third-party VPN are used simultaneously and it is not possible to use System DNS as a Bootstrap.
Block IPv6 🔒 #1289
For any DNS query sent to get an IPv6 address, our app returns an empty response (as if this IPv6 address does not exist). Now there is an option not to return IPv6 addresses.
Does anybody actually read these? ┬──┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)
AdGuard per iOS 4.0.4
Data di rilascio: 15 dicembre 2020
This release is mainly focused on bug fixes and minor improvements. Yet, it has a feature that one can’t ignore — DNS-over-QUIC support!
[Other] DNS-over-QUIC support (AdGuard DNS)
The first thing you should know about DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) is that it's a new encryption protocol. Not as new as a concept, but very new in terms of practical application. In fact, AdGuard introduced the very first public DNS servers that support DoQ! The feature is still experimental — AdGuard for iOS is one of the first open-source implementations of DNS-over-QUIC — but it's perfectly functioning and we encourage you to try it.
The most common DNS encryption protocols are DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS (DoH and DoT correspondingly). What makes DoQ special? A bunch of things: out-of-the-box encryption, reduced connection times, and better performance in cases of lost data packets.

AdGuard per iOS 4.0.0
Data di rilascio: 12 maggio 2020
After a long struggle and countless iterations we're finally ready to present AdGuard v4.0 for iOS! It's a huge update with many, many new features, design changes, bugfixes and whatnot. Let's not forget about DNS protection: a way to have full control over DNS traffic on your device. Let's check it out:
Major design changes
Traditionally, a major version increase heralds a lot of changes regarding the UI. This time is not an exception. And we really mean a lot!
General design changes: new icon styles, new menu logic, revamped main screen
Advanced mode: additional settings for advanced users. Use at your own risk!
Activity feed: DNS requests log, exhaustive request details.
Most active companies: not only you now can see to which company this or that DNS request belongs, you can view the "leaderboard" on the 'Most active compoanies' screen, accessible from the activity feed.
It might take a bit to get used to for the veterans, but at the same time we hope it will come very natural to new users.
Enhanced DNS protection #1107
In addition to familiar DNS functionality you now can add mobile network or certain Wi-Fi networks to exclusions. For example, you can use it if you have AdGuard Home set up for your home Wi-Fi.
Also, by enabling 'Advanced mode' you get access to DNS filtering: add custom hosts files or filters like AdGuard SDN filter to have more agency over your DNS traffic.
New AdGuard widget #973
Now AdGuard for iOS gets its own widget, just like AdGuard Pro. Look at this beauty:
It does everything you want: provides quick access to DNS protection and Safari content blocking switches, displays current DNS server and statistics. You barely need to open the app itself!
General statistics #1325
Another previously AdGuard Pro-exclusive feature that all AdGuard for iOS users will now be able to enjoy. A curious toy for some, an instrument to control your traffic for others — everyone will find it amusing, if not useful. You’ll find the stats on the main screen of the app:
Switch between all-time, monthly, weekly or daily stats and between all or blocked requests.

AdGuard per iOS 3.1.0
Data di rilascio: 19 settembre 2019
Apple tries to steal our thunder with their iOS 13 release, but we stay calm, as we’re sure: AdGuard 3.1 for iOS is big news! There are many noteworthy improvements to filtering process, design and licensing system. Let’s tackle the new version one change at a time.
[Added] New content blocker — Security #1103
In v3.0 we “split up” AdGuard for iOS into five content blockers to circumvent the Safari limitation on 50k rules per ad blocker (which is a ridiculously small number). Each of the content blockers was assigned a specific role, for example, “Privacy” or “Annoyances”. But then we thought: the more content blockers, the more rules you can use at the same time, right? So why not add another one? And we didn’t have to go out of our way for that, as “Security” is a category that organically complements the rest. Previously, filters from that category were included into “Other” group.
Note that you need to enable this new content blocker in Safari settings for it to work!
[Added] “Content blockers” screen #1105
It’s surely irritating when you have to go to Safari settings to check what filter groups are enabled and what are not. We know this from personal experience. The logical solution was to add a new screen right to AdGuard settings, which we did. Go to General settings > Content blockers to see the current state. You’ll even find there what filters exactly are enabled and how many rules each content blockers has used up.
[Improved] Protection status notification on the main screen #1106
This is another change that was so easy to make that it left us wonder why we didn’t make it earlier. Before v3.1, if any one content blocker was disabled, the main screen screamed at you with a red “Protection is disabled” warning, which is of course not true. Now it will let you know in a less alarming yellow color that “some content blockers are disabled”. We care about your mental health :D
[Improved] Content blocker affinity #1104
And here’s a very important change that affects the quality of the actual ad blocking. Some filtering rules depend on each other or work better together. There’s been a problem in cases when such rules belonged to different content blockers. They weren’t always working as intended, even if both content blockers were enabled. Now that it’s fixed, the quality of ad blocking will go further up.
[Added] Lifetime subscription option #1100
As you know, AdGuard for iOS offers two ways to activate Premium features: with a license key and via App Store subscriptions. It wasn’t very fair that while license keys can be either 1-year or lifetime, there was only a 1-year subscription-based activation option. Now, if you’re enjoying AdGuard and would like to stay with us for a while, you can purchase a lifetime subscription in App Store and save some money!
[Added] Native login screen #1197
And a small treat for our users who prefer license keys to subscriptions approach. To link AdGuard for iOS to your AdGuard personal account you don’t need to jump between the app and the browser anymore. When you tap the “Log in” button, a new screen will pop up that allows you to enter the credentials right there. You can choose the “Forgot password” option or even register a new account there too, if needed.

Networking
[Changed] AdGuard now makes several attempts to register a content blocker if the first one failed #1205
[Fixed] Unexpexted logout at background fetch #1183
[Fixed] Can’t add a custom rule when too many filter lists are enabled #1159
Other
[Fixed] Crash after opening “Custom filters” #1185
[Fixed] Crash when adding multiple custom filters #1035
[Fixed] Crash when tapping on “Add rule” in User filter #1137

AdGuard per iOS 3.0.1
Data di rilascio: 18 luglio 2019
This update fixes a lot of small-ish bugs, this is a hotfix of sorts if you will. We started addressing iOS 13-related issues, as its gaining more and more popularity among users despite still being in beta.
[Added] Two-Factor Authentication (if enabled in Account) #985
In v3.0 we added an option to log into your adguard.com personal Account via the app to activate Premium features of AdGuard for iOS. We completely forgot to take into account that some users have had two-factor authentication configured. Now we fix this unfortunate mistake, from now on you’ll be prompted to confirm your identity with an authenticator app in such case.

AdGuard per iOS 3.0.0
Data di rilascio: 17 giugno 2019
This is huge! AdGuard 3.0 for iOS has lots of new things that should get you excited! DNS Privacy module, custom filters and max limit count raised to 250k ー we have enough topics to talk about!
[Improved] Safari content blocker max rule count raised to 250k #819
Safari is notoriously known for its harsh 50k max limit for filtering rules in content blockers. This number is laughably low, and for ages we were struggling with it. Now we've implemented a workaround: split AdGuard into five content blockers. Each of them has the same 50k restriction but in total they add up to a reasonable 250k rules max. You don't have to seek weird compromises anymore and can enable all your favorite filters!
[Added] "DNS Privacy" settings section #887
This section should look familiar to seasoned AdGuard Pro users. Basically, this is where you have a chance to configure DNS settings the way you like it ー and further protect your privacy along the way. The main difference to the Pro version is that there's no blacklist or whitelist here, this was impossible under the current Apple policy. However, there is a requests log that will provide you information about everything that's going on on your device.
[Added] An option to import custom filters by URL #518
This option will be very useful for those who support their own filters, or just have a favorite filter that wasn't included by default. Add it by URL and it will be kept updated just as any other filter!

[Added] "Restart tunnel on network change" setting #1039

AdGuard per iOS 2.1.1
Data di rilascio: 22 giugno 2018
We are lucky to have a lot of amazing volunteers who help us translate AdGuard into various languages. Thanks to their efforts we were able to improve the existing localizations and even add a new one — AdGuard is now available in Japanese!
[Improved] Translations have been updated
AdGuard per iOS 2.0.5
Data di rilascio: 23 aprile 2018
Hello! This is a very small update. We updated the translations (thanks to all the volunteers by the way!) and added a "Rate me" dialog window. If you've always wanted to give us 5 stars, but just keep forgetting — this change is for you! :) Seriously though, just swipe the dialog away if you don't feel like rating the app, and it won't bother you again.
[Added] "Rate me" dialog #751
[Improved] Translations has been updated
AdGuard per iOS 2.0.4
Data di rilascio: 29 marzo 2018
Hello! Some iOS 9 users may have encountered certain troubles after the previous update. We fixed the related issues in this hotfix, so please update! Users of newer iOS versions can update too, there's no harm in that :)
AdGuard per iOS 2.0.2
Data di rilascio: 19 marzo 2018
Usually we update both AdGuard and AdGuard Pro for iOS simultaneously, but not this time. Don't worry — the new version of AdGuard for iOS has arrived, and it features new design, web reporting tool integration and more.
[Changed] App redesign #455
This is undoubtedly the first thing you will notice when you run the app after the update. Light theme has been discontinued in favor of a dark one, and the overall style of the menu has changed.
[Added] Detect if Content Blocker is not enabled in Safari settings #437
Enabling AdGuard Content blocker in Safari settings is required to have filtering going on in Safari. If AdGuard is disabled, the red warning will appear at the top of the main screen to remind you to enable the Content Blocker. The video right below it shows how to do so.
[Added] Integration with the web reporting tool #533
You may have heard about the online reporting tool before, especially if you are an AdGuard for Windows or AdGuard extension user. Basically, it is a web form to report missed ads, false positives or any other issues caused by AdGuard filters. Now it is integrated with AdGuard for iOS, so whenever you report a problem, the app will automatically prefill all the required fields about its settings.
UI
[Added] "Learn about other AdGuard products" item to the "RATE AND SHARE" block #641
[Improved] Tutorial videos have been updated #539
[Improved] AdGuard now uses default iOS Sharing functionality #590
Ad Blocking
[Changed] “Send Bug Report” menu item has been reworked #649
[Fixed] Error while loading filters into Safari #550
Other
[Improved] Translations has been updated
AdGuard per iOS 1.3.3
Data di rilascio: 12 dicembre 2017
The time has come for another version of AdGuard for iOS to be released. Renovated Assistant and the new “Invert whitelist” option are the headliners of this update.
[Changed] Assistant in the Safari extension #469
We have unified the Assistant code, so that it’s the same across the board now: AdGuard for Windows, Mac and iOS, browser extensions, you name it. While at it, we have changed the exterior a bit (hopefully, for the better). As a side effect, there’s temporarily no ‘Preview’ option, but it will be added in the next version.
[Added] Inverted whitelist #431
This is a quite narrow option, but some users will definitely find it useful. By inverting the whitelist (which you can do in the Advanced settings, by the way) you will switch AdGuard into a special mode that doesn’t block ads anywhere by default, but filters all websites that you add to this list. The inverted whitelist is independent from the regular whitelist, so you can have them both configured as you find appropriate and switch between the modes depending on your current goals.
[Improved] Added scaling support for iPhone X (18:9) #513
Upon the release of iPhone X some of AdGuard interface panels looked pretty ugly. We had to do some work to make it look smooth and natural for all those lucky owners of the newest Apple flagship device :)
UI
[Fixed] Keyboard covers up text field in custom filters #505
[Changed] Localizations have been updated
AdGuard per iOS 1.3.1
Data di rilascio: 28 agosto 2017
AdGuard per iOS 1.3.0
Data di rilascio: 22 agosto 2017

[Fixed] Not able to report a missed ad in Safari #394
[Fixed] Sometimes AdGuard сrashes when you open advanced settings #451
