To be able to filter HTTPS traffic (which is extremely important as most ads use HTTPS), AdGuard needs to install a certificate into your device's user storage. On older versions of the Android OS this was done automatically, but on Android 11 and later users have to install it manually.

Please note that the steps provided are based on the Google Pixel 7 smartphone. If you're using a different Android device, the exact menu names or options might vary. For easier navigation consider searching for a certificate by entering “certificate” or “credentials” in the settings search bar.

If you experience issues during the manual certificate installation (for example, you installed the certificate, but the application keeps ignoring it), you can follow one of the solutions below.

  1. Restart AdGuard.
  2. Try to install the correct certificate (AdGuard Personal CA) one more time.
