## What is AdBlockTube?

AdBlockTube is a fast, private web browser built for watching. Your favorite video, music and social sites open as clean, native-feeling apps: no ads, no address bar, no clutter.

NO ADS
• Video ads, banners and trackers are blocked before they load
• Filter lists update by themselves, so fixes arrive without an app update
• "Open in app" pop-ups and nags are hidden

KEEPS PLAYING, IN SPATIAL AUDIO
• Spatial Audio on your AirPods
• Background playback, even with the screen locked
• Lock Screen and Control Center controls
• Picture in Picture and AirPlay
• Paused from the Lock Screen? One silent notification resumes it with a tap
• Sleep timer and playback speed

LINKS OPEN HERE
• Tap a YouTube link in WhatsApp, Messages or Mail and it plays in AdBlockTube, not in Safari
• Turn on the Safari extension once; change it anytime in Settings

HOLD FOR 2×
• Press and hold any short or regular video to watch at double speed
• Slide down while holding to lock 2×. It stays on as you swipe to the next one

PRIVACY LOCK
• Open the app only with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode
• The app switcher shows nothing
• Music and videos keep playing while it's locked

FEELS NATIVE
• Every site gets native tabs, search and a real video player
• Native short-video feed that loads the next ones ahead
• Mini player, swipe down to minimize, haptics
• Dark and light appearance
• A short welcome tour shows you everything

PRO (OPTIONAL)
• No banner ads
• CarPlay: your music on the car's screen, and "Hey Siri, play…"
• Up Next queue: Play Next or Play Last on any video

Pro is available monthly, yearly (with a free trial for eligible new subscribers) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
