We’ll also walk through the steps to block them.
What Are Pop-Ups?
Pop-ups are windows that appear automatically in your browser or other applications.
They can be ads or other types of content, like surveys or notifications.
These pop-ups are usually triggered when you visit a website, click a link, or interact with an online form.
Why Block Pop-Ups on iPhones?
Pop-up ads often contain links to malicious websites or software downloads, which could damage your phone or steal personal information from it. Blocking pop-ups will help protect your phone from these threats and keep you safe while browsing the web.
How to Block Pop-Ups on iPhones
1) Open your iPhone’s Settings App
2) Scroll down until you find “Safari” listed under General Settings.
3) Tap on Safari
4) Toggle the “Block Pop-Ups” option at the bottom of the page so that it turns green (on). Turning on this setting will enable pop-up blocking for all websites you visit in Safari.
Benefits of Blocking Pop-Ups on iPhones
Blocking pop-ups has several benefits, including increased security against unwanted content, security threats, and malicious websites. It also improves user experience by avoiding unintentional clicks and accidental interactions with ads and scam pages. And it improves productivity by limiting distractions from ads or other automatically generated content.
