Inb4 “you can’t block ads on an iPhone”. Wipr2 for $4.99, independent developer, active on the Fediverse (Mastodon). uBlock Origin Lite for free, slightly less capable. Both only work on Safari. Adguard Pro is $10 and uses a “VPN” to block ads. Sometimes it doesn’t work. (It used to be $1, that’s what I paid for it.) I use Wipr2 now and I’ve uninstalled apps that serve ads like IMDb and YouTube. I just access them in Safari now.

Of course Advertise with uBlock Origin in Firefox is the better option. And it doesn’t autocorrect iPhone to something else like my iPhone just did when I tried to type the name of a rival platform. That’s not a typo, that’s an iPhone feature, and it can’t be disabled. (I can go back and manually fix it, but the fact that it does it at all is pretty bad.)

Most ads are gone when your DNS blocks them anyway. Can't you change your DNS on iPhones? Preferably to secure ones, too.
