All Versions of AdGuard

4.5.4

June 10, 2024

The app now runs more smoothly thanks to this minor update, which fixes a number of bugs.

4.5.3

April 12, 2024

Important improvements for the DNS protection feature: no more DNS leaks and connection instability when changing networks. Updated libraries that are essential for the app’s performance: DnsLibs, TSUrlFilter and Scriptlets. > Starting with this version, AdGuard for iOS supports only iOS 13 or later.

4.5.2

December 12, 2023

In this version, we’ve added HTTP basic authentication for DNS-over-HTTPS. This is useful if you have your own DNS server and don’t want someone else to use it. There is a nuance, though: there are not many DNS servers that support this feature right now. But soon they’ll become available in AdGuard Home and AdGuard DNS, so stay tuned! Besides, we’ve fixed minor bugs and updated DnsLibs and Scriptlets.

4.5.1

November 9, 2023

Fixed an issue on iOS 17 where filters would just update endlessly without actually updating. While we were trying to get to the root of the problem we discovered that it was caused by a bug in iOS itself (content blocker’s crash). It took us a lot of time and effort, but we managed to find a workaround and fix the problem — you can learn more about our solution from AdGuard blog. Also, we updated the dependencies of three components that are essential for efficient blocking: SafariConverterLib, Scriptlets, and TSUrlFilter. Lastly, we reworked DnsLibs (our DNS filtering engine), which significantly improved DNS-over-HTTPS/3 stability, and implemented some other fixes for the app’s better performance.

4.5

July 5, 2023

This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.

4.4.6

April 12, 2023

Spring is the time for renewal, and AdGuard products are no exception. We've updated all the libraries used in the app and improved the UI, so now AdGuard for iOS runs smoother and is more user-friendly. Advanced blocking rules acceleration The Advanced Protection feature is something we're proud of and what sets us apart from other content blockers on iOS. With this module, AdGuard for iOS can apply advanced filtering rules that supplement standard Safari content blocking rules and help effectively tackle complex and encrypted ads. However, due to the peculiarities of iOS, the *Advanced Protection* feature’s operation was always limited compared to other versions of AdGuard. For example, some rules applied noticeably later than page load. Sometimes this led to ad "flickering" as it was only hidden after page loading. In other cases, this even prevented certain ads from being blocked. When preparing the new version of AdGuard for iOS, we put in a lot of effort into speeding up the implementation of advanced blocking rules which directly improved the overall app performance. We hope you'll notice the difference. Native support for the :has() pseudo-class With Safari v16.4, content blockers gained the capability to select elements for hiding using the :has() pseudo-class. While this might sound complex and confusing, it's essential to know that this feature is incredibly important to us. It allows for the selection of ad blocks based on their content. Until AdGuard v4.4.6 for iOS, support for the :has() pseudo-class was implemented as part of the Advanced Protection module, available only in paid version. Now, this functionality is available to all AdGuard for iOS users!

4.4.5

December 21, 2022

In this version we've significantly updated our DNS filtering library — DnsLibs — so it consumes less resources and runs faster. Besides, the DNS-over-QUIC protocol implementation now supports RFC 9250 (proposed standard), and the experimental status was removed from DoQ support. Finally, we've updated our Safari rules engine and fixed a couple of bugs.

4.4.4

September 29, 2022

In this version we’ve updated the filter libraries and fixed the YouTube player on iOS 16. Now you can watch videos ad-free right in the AdGuard app. To do this, tap “Share” in the YouTube app, tap “More”, and select “Block ads on YouTube (by AdGuard)“.

4.4.3

September 1, 2022

This version brings the updated rule converter library and some important improvements to the Advanced protection module. > Please note that if you're updating from v4.4.0 you may need to re-enable AdGuard content blockers in Safari settings and check for filter updates in the app.

4.4.1

August 5, 2022

This is the first update AdGuard for iOS gets since changing the developer account. Please note that you may need to re-enable AdGuard content blockers in Safari settings and check for filter updates in the app.
