iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.5.3
출시일: 2024년 4월 12일
This release brings important improvements for the DNS protection feature: thanks to the DnsLibs update, there are no more DNS leaks and connection instability when changing networks. We also updated two other libraries that are essential for the app’s performance: TSUrlFilter and Scriptlets.
Starting with this version, AdGuard for iOS supports only iOS 13 or later.
Changelog
Updated Scriptlets (JavaScript enhancement for filtering rules) to v1.10.25
Updated TSUrlFilter (Advanced protection filtering engine) to v2.2.18
Updated DnsLibs (DNS filtering engine) to v2.5.17 #2314
It brings the following changes:
Improvements
Allowed specifying tcp-only and udp-only DNS upstreams #208
Fixes
Unable to use DoH DNS server that uses HTTP/1.1 since updating to version 4.3 #216
adguard_dns segfaults while acquiring mutex in
ag::dns::DohUpstream::Http3Connection::on_expiry_update() #212Unable to access Korean websites after latest version update #5120

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.5.0
출시일: 2023년 7월 5일
주요 변경 사항과 새로운 기능이 포함된 iOS용 AdGuard v4.5를 출시하게 되어 매우 기쁘게 생각합니다.
시스템 전체에 걸친 추적 보호
이제 iOS용 AdGuard v4.5에는 시스템 전체 추적 보호 기능이 추가되어 사용자 데이터를 은밀하게 수집하는 인앱 트래커를 차단할 수 있습니다.
그리고 이번 버전에서는 차단된 요청에 대한 통계가 앱에 추가되었습니다(활동 탭 참조). 차단된 트래커 수와 절약된 트래픽 양을 표시하도록 메인 화면의 카운터를 변경했습니다.
또한, 이제 iOS용 AdGuard를 설치하거나 설정을 기본값으로 초기화하면 AdGuard DNS 필터가 자동으로 활성화됩니다. 따라서 DNS 보호를 켜면 AdGuard는 Safari뿐만 아니라 모든 앱에서 광고와 트래커를 자동으로 차단하기 시작합니다. 어떤 서버를 사용하든 상관없으며, 어쨌든 DNS 트래픽은 필터링됩니다.
DNS-over-HTTP/3 지원
iOS용 AdGuard v4.5에서는 DnsLibs 업데이트로 인해 DNS-over-HTTP/3에 대한 지원이 추가되었습니다. DNS-over-HTTP/3은 DNS-over-HTTPS 프로토콜의 최신 버전입니다. AdGuard는 Google(h3://dns.google/dns-query) 및 Cloudflare(h3://dns.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query)와 함께 이 기능을 최초로 지원한 업체 중 하나입니다.
DNS 보호가 활성화된 상태에서 AdGuard DNS 필터가 기본적으로 활성화되므로 설치 후 처음 보호 기능을 활성화할 때 즉시 광고를 차단할 수 있습니다.

수정 사항
콘텐츠 차단 화면에는 규칙이 없었습니다. #2012
버전
DnsLibs가 v2.2.8로 업데이트되었습니다. #2171
iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.4.6
출시일: 2023년 4월 11일
봄은 새로운 시작이며, AdGuard가 새로운 버전을 출시합니다.
앱에서 사용되는 모든 라이브러리를 업데이트하고 UI를 개선했습니다. 이제 iOS용 AdGuard의 성능이 향상되고 사용하기 더 쉬워졌습니다.
차단 규칙 적용 가속화
저희가 야심차게 준비한 고급 보호 기능은 다른 콘텐츠 차단 프로그램과 차별화된 AdGuard의 기능입니다. 이 모듈을 통해 iOS용 AdGuard는 표준 Safari 콘텐츠 차단 규칙을 보완하는 고급 필터링 규칙을 적용하여 복잡하고 암호화된 광고를 보다 효과적으로 처리할 수 있습니다.
하지만 iOS의 특수성으로 인해 고급 보호 기능의 작동은 다른 플랫폼용 AdGuard에 비해 항상 제한적일 수 밖에 없었습니다. 예를 들어, 일부 규칙은 페이지 로드보다 눈에 띄게 늦게 적용되었습니다. 페이지 로딩 후에만 광고가 숨겨져 광고가 빠르게 나타났다 사라지는 문제가 발생하기도 했습니다. 어떤 경우에는 특정 광고가 차단되는 것을 막기도 했습니다.
새로운 버전의 iOS용 AdGuard를 준비하면서 고급 차단 규칙의 구현 속도를 높이는 데 많은 노력을 기울여 전반적인 앱 성능을 직접적으로 개선했습니다. 그 차이를 느끼실 수 있기를 바랍니다.
has()` 의사 클래스에 대한 기본 지원
Safari v16.4에서 콘텐츠 차단기는
:has() 의사 클래스를 사용하여 숨길 요소를 선택할 수 있는 기능을 추가했습니다. 이 기능은 복잡해 보일 수 있지만 매우 중요한 기능입니다. 콘텐츠에 따라 광고 차단을 선택할 수 있기 때문입니다.iOS용 AdGuard 버전 4.4.6이 출시될 때까지
:has() 의사 클래스에 대한 지원은 고급 보호 모듈의 일부로 구현되었으며, 유료 버전에서만 사용할 수 있었습니다. 하지만 이제 모든 iOS용 AdGuard 사용자가 사용 가능합니다! 변경 로그

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.3.1
출시일: 2021년 12월 29일
It's time for the long-awaited release of AdGuard Pro v4.3 for iOS. We've implemented support for AdGuard’s Safari Web Extension for iOS 15 and added Advanced protection. Never before has AdGuard Pro for iOS blocked ads so effectively!
[Enhancement] Safari Web Extension for iOS 15
The AdGuard Web Extension for Safari serves to enhance the capabilities of the AdGuard Pro for iOS app. With this extension, AdGuard can apply Advanced protection to better block ads in Safari, including YouTube ads, thanks to an improved filtering mechanism.
We’ve also performed a complete code refactoring and added an option to choose the filter update check interval in Low-level settings. And, of course, we fixed a few minor bugs in the process.
We hope you will enjoy AdGuard Pro v4.3 for iOS!

출시일: 2021년 9월 21일
A minor update. We changed one line to be consistent with iOS 15.
Our current focus is v4.3; it has a cool innovative feature that augments ad blocking quality. We intend to release it in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.2.1
출시일: 2021년 8월 6일
This is a rather small update. We stopped a nasty bug in its track: DNSLibs used to return an error after an attempt to add a DNS-over-QUIC server. Now it’s fixed, so you can live in peace and use the app that has become even more bug-free. Plus, a bunch of crashes are dealt with.
[Enhancement] Update DnsLibs to 1.6.20 #1802
iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.2.0
출시일: 2021년 6월 10일
In this version we focused on improving filtering in Safari. In parallel, we solved the problem with YouTube ads that AdGuard users had been encountering. We’ve developed two ways to block them: a shortcut, the instructions for which can be found on our blog, and a Safari extension.
[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.

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.1.0
출시일: 2021년 2월 18일
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)
iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.0.4
출시일: 2020년 12월 15일
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.

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.0.2
출시일: 2020년 8월 18일
AdGuard v4.0.2 for iOS is more focused on bug fixes, yet it has some important changes. We’ve made UI improvements, redesigned the menu logic and added one more DNS server to Cloudflare. A small, but much-needed release – the first one after the long-awaited AdGuard Pro update.

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 4.0.1
출시일: 2020년 6월 18일
It's been forever since the last AdGuard Pro update, and even more since the last meaningful one. We hope very much that this huge update will redeem us. And there's no reason to think otherwise: the number and the scale of changes is enormous. Starting with a complete UI rework, followed by the introduction of Content blockers and other meaningful additions and enhancements like Activity feed and improved DNS filtering.
Major design changes
Traditionally, a major version increase heralds a lot of changes regarding the UI. This time is not an exception. And considering the app jumped from v2.1 straight to v4.0, the transformation is drastic. Here's an attempt to list everything that has changed in terms of UI:
General design changes. Seriously, this is almost a new app now. New style, menu logic, icons... One thing stays the same though: you can switch to dark mode.
Advanced mode: additional settings for advanced users. Use at your own risk! However, the app isn't called 'AdGuard Pro' for nothing: if you've been using it for a while, these advanced settings probably won't scare you off.
Activity feed: DNS requests log, exhaustive request details. This is more or less the familiar requests log, but better looking and more detailed.
Most active companies: not only you now can see which company this or that DNS request belongs to, you can view the "leaderboard" on the 'Most active companies' screen, accessible from the activity feed.
Requests statistic. Switch between all-time, monthly, weekly or daily stats.
Content blocking
This update features a solid amount of changes that are aimed at enhancing the Safari content blocking. Its efficiency has increased manyfold compared to v2.1.
[Enhancement] Safari content blocker max rule count raised to 300k #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 Pro into six content blockers. Each of them has the same 50k restriction but in total they add up to a reasonable 300k rules max. You don't have to seek weird compromises anymore and can enable all your favorite filters at once!
[Enhancement] "Content blockers" screen #1105
It would surely be irritating to have to go to Safari settings to check which content blockers are enabled and which are not. We know this from personal experience. The logical solution was to add a new screen right to AdGuard Pro settings, which we did. Go to General settings > Content blockers to see the current state. You’ll even find there which filters exactly are enabled and how many rules each of the content blockers has used up.
[Enhancement] Content blocker affinity #1104
Some filtering rules depend on each other or work better together. There’s a problem in cases when such rules belong to different content blockers. Normally they wouldn't always work as intended, even if both content blockers were enabled. But we put in extra work to achieve cross-content blocker compatibility, so the quality of ad blocking went further up.
[Enhancement] 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!
DNS protection
It was already on a solid level before the update, so we didn't change too much compared to content blocking or UI. It doesn't mean we didn't do anything, though!
Enhanced DNS protection #1107
This includes a few measures. Firstly, we made it so it's possible now to enable and disable DNS protection for Wi-Fi or mobile data separately, a feature that should be helpful to many AdGuard Pro users.
Besides that, 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.
There are several lesser changes related to DNS functionality that are too technical or too minor to include here, but together they make the DNS protection suite quite a lot better compared to the previous version.
iOS용 AdGuard Pro 2.1.1
출시일: 2018년 6월 22일
We really dislike releasing new versions that only contain bugfixes, but sometimes it is necessary. One of the bugs required our immediate attention, and we couldn’t wait for more features to come to release the new version.
[Fixed] Full tunnel mode misbehaviour #772
This is the main villain of the release. In full tunnel mode, some users experienced network failure after their device switched from WiFi to Mobile data. Only Flight mode on/off toggle or restarting the device helped bring the connection back to life. The bug proved to be trickier than we expected, so we added a new advanced setting to enable automatic tunnel restart after network switch.
NOTE: this setting is disabled by default. If you are one of the unlucky users, try enabling it.
UI
- [Changed] Margin size on Quick tour screen has been reduced #793
- [Fixed] DNS settings description doesn't change when switching phone language #794
Networking
- [Fixed] Manually adding/removing URLs to blacklist disables filtering #776

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 2.0.2

Turned out, we overlooked a couple of minor bugs and inconsistencies in the v2.0 update. Here's a quick fix to set things right.
[Fixed] Warning "Safari content blocker is disabled" sometimes disappears #691
[Fixed] Blocking List Subscription disappears #575
[Improved] Update the Safari filters' translations in Traditional Chinese language file #686
[Improved] AdGuard filter descriptions not translated to German #683
[Improved] Enable autoupdate over Wi-Fi only by default #682
[Improved] Show "hide" button after watching video #680
[Improved] Translations has been updated #679
iOS용 AdGuard Pro 2.0.0
출시일: 2018년 3월 6일
In this version, we introduce a wide range of novelties, from app redesign (dark theme looks slick!) to new features like Blocking Lists to block ads devise-wise, new Privacy module (and specifically DNSCrypt support) to boost your online privacy, integration with web reporting tool and much 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] DNSCrypt support #465
AdGuard now supports DNSCrypt servers. You can read why DNSCrypt is so important in our Knowledge base article. Long story short: it greatly enhances your online protection. Loads of DNSCrypt servers to choose from are available by default on the “DNS settings screen”, along with option to add a custom server.
[Added] Privacy settings #545
There is a new “Privacy settings” tab in the main menu. Inside you will find familiar Whitelist and Blacklist, but also new “Blocking lists” section. Blocking lists, sometimes also referred to as “subscriptions”, are lists of rules (similar to Safari content blocking rules) that are used to operate the filtering process. There is a link inside to add some of the popular subscriptions as well as a possibility to add any custom ones by URL. Subscriptions are either hosts-file or adblock-file based, the diffirences between them are described further down the release notes.
NOTE: Important to notice that too many subscriptions can lead to tunnel crash, i.e. the app will stop responding and the filtering will cease.
[Changed] Blacklist now supports both "adblock" and "hosts files" syntax #546
Hosts files are basically lists of matches between domain names and ip-addresses that the system should use to navigate to these domains. Unlike hosts files, adblock-based subscriptions are regular filters that support basic syntax. Both types of files can be added to AdGuard to block DNS requests.
[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] AdGuard DNS (default, family) has been added to the list of known DNS providers #582
Not much to add here. Both AdGuard Default and AdGuard Family protection are now available from the get go, without having to enter their addresses manually (by the way, AdGuard provides DNSCrypt servers too, and they are in the list).
[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.
[Improved] Mobile Assistant version has been updated #581
The “Preview” button disappeared from the “Block element on this page” tool in the last update due to technical difficulties, which caused a righteous uproar from many users. Luckily, we were able to resolve these problems by now and the preview button is back where it belongs.
UI
[Added] "Learn about other AdGuard products" item to the "RATE AND SHARE" block #641
[Changed] Color in DNS requests log #620
[Improved] First run screen has been redesigned #613
[Improved] Tutorial videos have been updated #539
[Improved] AdGuard now uses default iOS Sharing functionality #590
Adblocking
[Added] Quad9 to the list of known DNS Servers #529
[Changed] Mobile ads filter turned on by default #624
[Changed] “Report an issue” menu item has been reworked #649
[Fixed] Error while loading filters into Safari #550

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 1.3.3
출시일: 2017년 12월 12일
The new version makes a strong emphasis on improving the Content blocker part of AdGuard Pro. Renovated Assistant and the new “Invert whitelist” option are the headliners of this update. Few pesky bugs have been eliminated too.
[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] UI glitch #517
[Fixed] Keyboard covers up text field in custom filters #505
[Changed] 'Enable DNS Request log' toggle should be greyed out when Pro-status is off #521
[Changed] Incorrect entry in black- and whitelist (DNS settings) should be highlighted in red #510

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 1.3.2
출시일: 2017년 10월 9일
This is a small update which has fixed minor issues slipped through unnoticed. Hint how to add DNS server manually were clarified and widget is now greydout when PRO status turned off.
iOS용 AdGuard Pro 1.3.1
출시일: 2017년 8월 24일
[Fixed] Sometimes tunnel does not restart correctly when the network changes #470
An important issue was found in the previous version. If network type was changed, it requires the tunnel mode to be restarted. Sometimes it didn't happen. We have completely reworked the tunnel's “behavior” when changing the connection - now, if a connection type is changed, the tunnel does not restart, and the connection to the network is not lost.
[Added] AdGuard for iOS (Pro) widget #312
Now it is possible to quickly enable or disable DNS filtering directly from the Today view screen.
[Added] Support custom ports in the custom DNS settings #412
And the last important change - it is possible to manually add ports in the DNS settings. This can be useful in cases where an ISP intercepts DNS traffic and redirects it to its servers. It turns out that technically AdGuard works, but there is no filtering. In this case, one should specify the address in the DNS settings, for example - 176.103.130.130:5353 or [ff:fa::1]:5353.

iOS용 AdGuard Pro 1.3.0
출시일: 2017년 8월 22일
Recently, Apple has announced that according to their policy, they "have never allowed apps on the App Store that are designed to interfere with the performance or capabilities of other apps". This means that the only ad blocking solution permitted in iOS are content blocking extensions for Safari browser, and AdGuard Pro has to rethink its features. Sadly, the system-wide ad blocking has to go, but we keep the custom DNS functionality and look forward to developing it even more in the future.
We have also removed 'AdGuard DNS' and 'AdGuard Family protection' from the default DNS setups, you will need to manually add our DNS addresses to use them (although, if you have already had one of these modes selected, it will remain). Another option to keep the filtering in apps is to add our Simplified domain names filter to the blacklist as a whole.
But, aside from this sad news, we have something to tell about the new version. It features a new setting that lets you choose between the more stable work and compatibility with other VPN apps. Plus, as usual, more fixes, UI changes and what not.
[Added] New 'Tunnel mode' setting #404
We decided to introduce this setting as a response to some cases of iOS bypassing the AdGuard (due to bad connectivity). What does this mean in practice? The new setting lets you choose between two modes: split-tunnel and full-tunnel. While in split-tunnel mode (the default one), AdGuard will be compatible with some other VPN apps (full list here) but can be bypassed by the system. On the contrary, in full-tunnel mode, you can't run other VPN apps alongside AdGuard, but iOS won't be able to bypass it, regardless of the connection quality.
UI
[Added] Build number on the "About" screen #406
[Added] "Filter rules syntax" link to the User filter #375
[Changed] Gray out "DNS settings" when PRO status is disabled #374
[Fixed] Typos #408
[Fixed] Filter search doesn't work #388
[Fixed] When app is started, "Pro" button state is "disabled" for a second #371
[Fixed] Incorrect warning message on the main screen about the filters conversion error #414
[Improved] New Persian localization, other localizations have been updated #427
