All Versions of AdGuard Pro

4.5.4

June 10, 2024

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

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.
More

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.
More

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)“.
More

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.
More

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.

Reviews of AdGuard Pro

  • Please try to take an active role in the developer and public beta releases for iOS 18.

    Please try to take an active role in the developer and public beta releases for iOS 18.

    Please, everybody if you can please try to take an active role in the developer and public releases for iOS 18.

    If we had had a more active role in the developer and public betas for iOS 17 it wouldn’t have become such a nightmare.

    It’s kind of like having cancer in stage 1 vs stage 4. The earlier you can detect a problem the better. Users if you are willing to please consider becoming a public beta tester. Research on how you can become a more effective beta tester.

    If more people had been willing to be an early beta tester for iOS 17 it might have not been the SNAFU it turned into.

    Please if you know of anyone else that uses the other versions of AdGuard please ask them to consider becoming a public beta tester.

    Developer Response

    Hello there! Sorry to hear about that! Please get in touch with us via the in-app feedback system, describe the issue in more detail, and our friendly support team will be more than glad to help you out! Alternatively, please reach us out via email support@adguard.com. AdGuard Team 💚
  • Used to work

    I can’t remember when I bought a permanent sub to this app, but it was a long time ago. Over time I started noticing more and more ads popping up. Websites where I knew ads were blocked were suddenly showing ads again. No amount of refreshing or app updates fixed it. I never figured out how to manually block ads either. I’ve tried other ad blockers and found the same issue, so maybe it’s a widespread problem. In any case, I deleted the app and am using the Brave browser now. It’s not perfect but it’s blocking the ads that Adguard Pro wouldn’t.

    Developer Response

    Hi, You've reached AdGuard! We are sorry you face this. AdGuard successfully block ads for millions of users worldwide. And if this is not your case, then something is set wrong. Please message us at support@adguard.com and we would love helping you setting it right 🙏️ Best! AdGuard Support Team 💚
  • The best for advanced users on Safari

    What sets AdGuard apart for advanced users is its customizable filtering options. Users can manually select from myriad open source filter lists and even write their own, offering a level of personalization and control not commonly found in other ad blockers.

    The filter list syntax is the same used by uBlock Origin and ABP, which has the ability to not only block ad, tracker, malware, and phishing requests, but can hide elements and modify the functionality of web pages (e.g., bypassing paywalls via custom rules). There is a large community of filter maintainers, always improving and releasing filter updates.

    AdGuard has another clever implementation feature: it bypasses Apple’s filter rule limits by including multiple content blocking extensions, each containing a different category of filter lists. In total, it allows using up to 900,000 filtering rules.

    AdGuard Pro for iOS is identical to the free AdGuard for iOS with a premium subscription (just $3 cheaper). Both use the same open source codebase available on GitHub.
