Does iPhone have a built in ad blocker?

Answered by Willie Powers

The iPhone does have a built-in ad blocker feature. To enable it, you can go to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and then scroll down to find the Safari option.

Once you tap on Safari, you will see a list of settings related to the web browser. One of the options you can toggle on is “Block Pop-ups.” By turning this setting on, Safari will prevent websites from showing pop-up ads while you browse the internet.

In addition to blocking pop-ups, you can also enable the “Fraudulent Website Warning” setting in Safari. This feature helps protect you from scam websites by warning you if you visit a site that may be attempting to deceive or defraud you.

With these settings enabled, you can have a more seamless and secure browsing experience on your iPhone or iPad. No more annoying pop-up ads interrupting your web browsing, and an added layer of protection against fraudulent websites.

I personally find these features very useful as they not only enhance my browsing experience but also give me peace of mind knowing that I am protected from potentially harmful websites. It’s great to have these built-in features on the iPhone, as I don’t have to rely on third-party ad blockers or security apps.

To summarize, the iPhone does have a built-in ad blocker feature through Safari. By enabling the “Block Pop-ups” and “Fraudulent Website Warning” settings in Safari, you can enjoy an ad-free browsing experience and stay protected from potentially harmful websites.
