## What is PadPub?

PadPub blocks ads in ALL your apps – games, social networks, news, browsers – not just in Safari. One button, no account, no password.

HOW IT WORKS
Most iPhone ad blockers are Safari extensions: as soon as you open an app, the ads come back. PadPub filters your iPhone's DNS: every request to an ad server, a tracker or a phishing site is refused before the ad is even downloaded. The result: fewer ads, faster pages, less data used, longer battery life.

WHAT PADPUB BLOCKS
• Banners, pop-ups and video ads in apps and on websites
• Ad trackers (DoubleClick, Google Ads, Facebook…) that profile your habits
• Known malware and phishing domains
• Ads in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and in-app browsers

WHAT PADPUB DOESN'T BLOCK
To be honest: ads served by the same platform as the content (YouTube in the YouTube app, Instagram, TikTok) go through the same servers as the videos and can't be filtered by DNS. No system-wide blocker can do it on iPhone.

SET UP IN 30 SECONDS
1. Open PadPub and tap the button
2. Settings › General › VPN & Device Management › DNS › PadPub
3. That's it: protection stays on in the background, even with the app closed.
PadPub guides you step by step and checks that everything works.

YOU STAY IN CONTROL
• Pause for 5 min, 1 h or 24 h, then automatic resume
• Blocked ads counter and statistics: monthly total, last 7 days, most blocked domains
• Your impact: data saved, battery gained, CO₂ avoided
• Blocked ads widgets on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen

PRIVACY
• No account, no email, no password
• No data sold, no ads in PadPub
• Made in France by an independent studio
PadPub only keeps an anonymous technical identifier for your quota and your statistics. No data is used to track you or sold.

FREE, AND PREMIUM IF YOU WANT MORE
The free plan includes a monthly blocking quota, with no time limit. PadPub Premium (monthly or yearly subscription, cancel anytime, price shown in the app) gives you unlimited blocking and detailed statistics – and keeps an independent project alive.

WHO'S BEHIND PADPUB
PadPub is developed by Angle Development, an independent studio based in Reims, France. No account, no data resale: blocking is done through DNS filtering, with no sign-up. A problem, an idea? Write to support@padpub.fr — you'll get an answer from a real human.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.25.0 — 2026-10-09

Your blocker now lives on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

• ENGLISH: PadPub is now available in English.
• WIDGETS: the blocked ads counter, protection status and current pause, visible without opening the app. Three sizes for the Home Screen, three formats for the Lock Screen. Look for PadPub in the widget gallery.
• GUIDED SETUP: every step up to the DNS setting is shown as an animation, with a reminder if you didn't finish. Ten seconds after activation, a notification offers to check that protection is in place.
• PAUSE: turn protection off or back on directly from the pause sheet, without going through Settings.
• LIGHTER HOME: lighter animations, counters paused when the tab isn't visible. The app itself uses less battery.
• VOICEOVER: the home screen is fully described.
• More robust startup and networking, clearer error messages.
