4.5.2
Dec 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
Nov 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.

Jul 5, 2023
This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.
4.4.6
Apr 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!

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.

4.4.0
May 8, 2022
Meet AdGuard v4.4.0 for iOS! In this release we have fixed only one, but incredibly annoying issue with AdGuard DNS filtering module handling network changes. Now everything works without glitches and we can finally relax (for a while). Hope you will enjoy the new version.
4.3.3
Mar 4, 2022
This update is small but important: the fixes we've made will definitely make AdGuard work even better. In this version we've improved DNS filtering to make it more stable even when the internet connection is poor. We've also fixed a bug that was preventing filter updates on iOS 15.4 beta and a couple of background crashes. And we've added some other minor improvements to make using AdGuard more comfortable.
4.3.2
Feb 7, 2022
Not all our updates are flashy and eye-catching, but they all make AdGuard better. So, meet AdGuard v4.3.2 for iOS — right from the oven. In this release we've mainly focused on improving the app’s performance and fixing minor bugs. We hope you’ll enjoy the new version of AdGuard for iOS.
4.3.1
Dec 30, 2021
In this update we make an emphasis on fixing the bugs that we let through in the v4.3. Besides that, despite the very little amount of time that had passed since the previous update, we managed to make some changes that tangibly improve the overall quality of the app.
4.3.0
Dec 23, 2021
It's time for the long-awaited release of AdGuard v4.3 for iOS. We've implemented support for AdGuard’s Safari Web Extension for iOS 15 and added Advanced protection. Never before has AdGuard for iOS blocked ads so effectively!
The AdGuard Web Extension for Safari serves to enhance the capabilities of the AdGuard for iOS app. With this extension, AdGuard can apply Advanced protection to better block ads in Safari, including YouTube ads, thanks to an improved filtering mechanism.
We’ve also performed a complete code refactoring and added an option to choose the filter update check interval in Low-level settings. And, of course, we fixed a few minor bugs in the process.

4.2.1
Aug 6, 2021
This is a rather small update. We stopped a nasty bug in its track: DNSLibs used to return an error after an attempt to add a DNS-over-QUIC server. Now it’s fixed, so you can live in peace and use the app that has become even more bug-free. Plus, a bunch of crashes are dealt with.
4.2.0
Jun 10, 2021
We’ve added an action extension for enhanced ad blocking on YouTube in Safari. Besides ads, the extension removes the white placeholders left after blocking and extra taps — now videos are played automatically.Also, we’ve improved the performance of the Safari rules converter, added alerts to our new Safari extension blocking ads on YouTube, updated DnsLibs, and fixed bugs.
4.1.1
Mar 22, 2021
Some of our updates go unnoticed, and this is one of those cases. But ‘unnoticed’ doesn’t mean bad, because there are things you can feel but not see: happiness, love, inspiration, air. And they rule the world.
To release the new version, we’ve fixed bugs, improved UI, and more.

Our work on the fresh AdGuard version proved to be extremely productive:
We improved the app's performance and stability under zero-gravity conditions
Got rid of the integration with smart fridges
Capital J has been completely removed from the app's texts
Tabs in the code replaced with quadruple spaces
Rewrote the rest of the code in PowerPoint
Added telepathic protection activation
Code is now compliant with Geneva Conventions
Significantly increased the app's closing speed
Binary code upgraded to ternary
App's video version is now available on TikTok

AdGuard v4.0 for iOS: the big update you didn't know you had been waiting for.
You won't recognize the app, so much has changed since the last version. Good thing is, you don't need to: the new menus are all super intuitive, everything is right where it should be and where you expect it to find.
New features that directly enhance the app's functionality and performance. And more new features (like global stats) that will help you better manage the app and control your device!

They're making me write release notes for food. This is my only way to communicate with the world. They wanted me to tell you there are heaps of new awesome features, but it's all lies! They simply changed a couple of strings in one of the localizations. I'm crying for help! Save me, please!
