I was showing my mom a new recipe on my iPhone, and right in the middle, a full-screen pop-up ad of some horned up dating sim game hijacked the moment. I get that some apps solely rely on ads for revenue but idgaf if you’re showing these two bit ads on my whole screen, I’m gonna do my utter best to block that shit.

I’m feeling super petty and I need a good ad blocker, but I don’t even know if there are those for ios(?). I’ve looked up some older threads on here and I’ve seen Adguard and Wipr recommended with some mixed reviews.

Idk if these are good though, and if I’m missing some other option? Ideally something not taxing enough that makes my phone beg for its life. Please help me feel vindicated

For Safari I‘m team Wipr too for quite some time now and works great for me. For blocking ads in Apps I use my VPN (for instance some free games annoy you with ads every few seconds but with VPN these ads are not loading and therefore don’t annoy me).
