Recording debug log​

To collect debug log and send it to us, you need to perform following steps:

  1. Go to Settings → General → Advanced.
  2. Tap Logging level and set it to Debug.
  3. Reproduce the problem and try to remember the exact time it occurred.
  4. Wait a while, then return to Settings and choose the Support tab. Tap Report a bug and complete the required fields. Don't forget to check the Send app logs and system info checkbox. Finally tap Send.

If you're interested in following the resolution of your issue and engaging in a dialogue with the developers, we recommend that you take the following steps after completing the first three:

  1. Wait a while, then return to the Advanced screen and export logs via Export logs and system info. Then report a bug on GitHub by following these instructions.
  2. After creating an issue on GitHub, send the log file to devteam@adguard.com. Include the time of the bug and attach a link to your issue or its number (it appears as #number next to the title). Alternatively, you can upload the log file to Google Drive and send it to devteam@adguard.com. Add the file link to your GitHub issue
