How do I turn off content blocker in Safari?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To turn off the content blocker in Safari on your iPhone or iPad, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your device. It usually has a gray icon with gears on it.

2. Scroll down and find “Safari” in the list of settings options. Tap on it to open the Safari settings.

3. In the Safari settings, you will find various options related to the browser. Look for the “Content Blockers” section. It is usually located under the “General” section.

4. Tap on “Content Blockers” to access the settings for ad blockers and content blockers in Safari.

5. You will see a list of content blockers that are currently enabled on your device. These are the apps or extensions that are blocking ads and other unwanted content in Safari.

6. To turn off the content blocker, simply toggle the switch next to it to the off position. This will disable the content blocker and allow all content to be displayed in Safari.

7. Once you have turned off the content blocker, you can return to the video or website you were trying to access. Click on the “Continue watching” or similar button to proceed.

If you find that the ad blocker is still being detected and preventing you from watching the video, you can try restarting Safari. To do this, double-click the home button on your iPhone or iPad to bring up the app switcher. Then, swipe up on the Safari app to close it. Afterward, relaunch Safari and try accessing the video again.

In my personal experience, I have encountered situations where content blockers can interfere with certain websites or videos. Disabling the content blocker temporarily has often resolved such issues and allowed me to access the desired content without any problems.

In summary, to turn off the content blocker in Safari on your iPhone or iPad, you need to go to the Safari settings, locate the “Content Blockers” section, and toggle off the switch next to the blocker you want to disable. If the ad blocker is still detected, restarting Safari can often resolve the issue.
