So Annoying! blocks ads in Safari and inside many of your other apps and games. In the YouTube app, videos play without ads, keep playing when you lock the screen, and work in picture in picture. In Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac, it rejects cookie banners for you where the site allows it and hides the rest. It also clears popups and the AI answers on top of search results. It works in many apps and games, not every one. If an ad still gets through, report it with one tap and your report helps fix it for everyone. If you want a game to keep its ads, maybe for a reward, add it to Allowed apps. In Safari you decide what goes. Ads, trackers, cookie banners, newsletter popups, prompts to open the app, chat bubbles, floating videos, notification requests, sponsored results and AI answers in search. Turn off any of these you want to keep. When you close something it missed, Learning notices how you closed it and saves a rule to try next time. Learning is on by default and also sends limited reports to help improve the rules for everyone. You can turn it off in settings. New rules reach the app without waiting for an app update. IN OTHER APPS runs on your iPhone or iPad, and your traffic does not go through my servers. Setup takes a few steps in Settings, and the app shows each one with a short film. There is no account to make. Blocking ads and trackers in Safari is free on every device, with no trial and no time limit. Cookie banners, popups and ads in your other apps come with a plan. There are two packages, In Safari and In Safari + IN OTHER APPS. In Safari works on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. IN OTHER APPS is for iPhone and iPad. Each package comes monthly, yearly or as one lifetime purchase. Monthly and yearly start with a free trial. If you already own In Safari for life, you can add IN OTHER APPS for life with one more purchase. Family Sharing works on every plan. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it in your Apple Account settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. I make So Annoying! on my own. If something still shows up or setup gets stuck, send me a message from the app or write to support@soannoying.app. I'm happy to help.
