How To Avoid Pop Up Ads On Iphone

How to Block Pop-Ups on iPhone

Congratulations! You've won a free iPhone! Or maybe you were selected to win a million dollar prize? If you've seen a weird pop-up like this on your iPhone, you're not alone. These obnoxious redirects have been a nuisance for years. To make matters worse, these pop-ups are often infected with malware, just waiting to plant a virus on your mobile device.

Thankfully, figuring out how to block pop-ups on iPhone is incredibly easy. There are simple ways to block pop-ups on your iPhone and return to safe, distraction-free mobile browsing. While we have tens of millions of people using AdBlock, many users are still not aware how effective an ad blocking mobile app can be to fight back against iPhone pop-ups.

We believe that AdBlock for iOS is the best tool for blocking annoying and intrusive ads within the Safari browser on iPhone. AdBlock for iOS removes ads within your mobile browser on YouTube, Facebook, and all of your favorite websites. It also improves page load times, helps extend the life of your phone's battery, and blocks advertisers from accessing your browsing history and personal information. (Keep in mind that AdBlock is only allowed to block ads within the Safari browser on iPhone; it cannot block ads within your apps.)

AdBlock is not the only way how to block pop-ups on iPhone. iOS devices allow you to configure your Safari browser settings to tell your iPhone to limit your exposure to pop-up ads. If your primary objective is only to block pop-ups on your iPhone, follow these steps (keep in mind that this will block all pop-ups, even the necessary ones, so you may need to adjust this setting for certain websites to work properly):

From your iPhone's home screen, select Settings
Scroll down and select Safari
Scroll down to the General selection, and toggle the Block Pop-ups option to on:

Please note that if you are seeing aggressive pop-ups on every webpage you visit, that can be a sign that you've downloaded adware. Adware comes in many forms. You may be seeing the same ads on multiple websites, your browser's homepage may have changed without your consent, or you may even be seeing inappropriate or explicit ads. All of this points to adware or another form of malware. Here's how to remove malware or adware if you suspect you've been infected.

Luckily adware is pretty rare in iOS devices, but online ads certainly aren't! With AdBlock, you don't have to put up with pesky iPhone pop-ups (or any other annoying online ads, for that matter). No more wondering how to block pop-ups on iPhone; simply install AdBlock for iOS by visiting www.getadblock.com on your mobile device, or find us in the app store (make sure you're downloading the right AdBlock: AdBlock for Mobile by BetaFish Inc).
