Advanced protection

info

This article is about AdGuard for iOS, a multifunctional ad blocker that protects your device at the system level. To see how it works, download the AdGuard app

In iOS 15, Apple added support for Safari Web Extensions and we added a new Advanced protection module to AdGuard for iOS. It allows AdGuard to apply advanced filtering rules, such as CSS rules, Extended CSS selectors, and scriptlets to deal with even the complex ads, such as YouTube ads.

How to enable

To enable Advanced protection, open the Protection tab by tapping the second left icon at the bottom of the screen, select the Advanced protection module, activate the feature by toggling the switch slider, and follow the on-screen instructions.

note

The Advanced protection only works on iOS 15 and later versions. If you are using earlier versions of iOS, you will see the YouTube ad blocking module in the app instead of the Advanced protection.
