4.5.3
2024-04-12
Important improvements for the DNS protection feature: no more DNS leaks and connection instability when changing networks. Updated libraries that are essential for the app’s performance: DnsLibs, TSUrlFilter and Scriptlets.
> Starting with this version, AdGuard for iOS supports only iOS 13 or later.
4.5.2
2023-12-12
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
2023-11-09
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.
4.5
2023-07-05
This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.
4.4.6
2023-04-12
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!
4.4.5
2022-12-21
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.
4.4.4
2022-09-29
In this version we’ve updated the filter libraries and fixed the YouTube player on iOS 16.
Now you can watch videos ad-free right in the AdGuard app. To do this, tap “Share” in the YouTube app, tap “More”, and select “Block ads on YouTube (by AdGuard)“.
4.4.3
2022-09-01
This version brings the updated rule converter library and some important improvements to the Advanced protection module.
> Please note that if you're updating from v4.4.0 you may need to re-enable AdGuard content blockers in Safari settings and check for filter updates in the app.
4.4.1
2022-08-05

4.3.3
2022-03-04
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.

2021-09-21

AdGuard v4.0 for iOS: the big update you didn't know you had been waiting for.

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!
3.1.4
2019-12-28
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!
