In this tutorial, I’ve got a cool one for you: I’m going to teach you how to block all ads on your iPhone. This includes in-app pop-up ads and everything in Safari. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Why Block Ads?

Blocking ads not only improves your browsing experience but also protects your privacy and security. Some ads may have malware injected into them, so blocking them can greatly enhance your safety.

Step 1: Use NextDNS

1. Download and Set Up NextDNS

   • Go to the App Store, download NextDNS, and open it.

   • The app itself doesn’t have much; configuration is mostly done on a computer or web browser.

2. Add Block Lists

   • Use the link pinned in the comments to sign up.

   • Add blocklists like Facebook ad trackers, Google trackers, and more.

3. Configure on Your Phone

   • After setting up on your computer, copy the Configuration ID and paste it into the NextDNS app.

4. Enable DNS on iPhone

   • Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management > DNS.

   • Select NextDNS to activate it.

Step 2: Block Ads on Safari

1. Download Ad Block Pro and AdGuard Pro

   • These apps block all Safari ads.

   • Open each app and follow the prompts.

2. Enable Extensions in Safari

   • Go to Settings > Safari > Extensions.

   • Toggle on the extensions for Ad Block Pro and AdGuard Pro.

3. Enjoy Ad-Free YouTube on Safari

   • Access YouTube.com in Safari instead of the YouTube app.

   • All ads will now be blocked, and you can browse without interruptions.

Bonus Apps for Advanced Users

• Stop the Madness Pro:

  • Automatically loads 4K videos or sets playback to 2x speed on Safari.

• Baking Soda and Vinegar:

  • These paid apps block ads and enhance the video player experience on YouTube in Safari.

Apply These Steps Across Devices

Everything I’ve mentioned works on:

• iPhones

• iPads

• MacBooks (use Brave Browser for desktop ad blocking).
