How to Block Ads in Games on Your iPhone for Distraction-Free Gameplay

In-app ads are not something that anyone likes, especially in mobile games. However, they allow developers to generate revenue, and you don't have to pay to play. Some games offer in-app purchases that allow you to remove ads. But what about apps that don't offer this option?

We recommend that you accept these ads. It is the only source of revenue the game has. This can be used to invest in the game through frequent updates, new levels and other activities. Some apps may allow you to watch five 30-second videos in five minutes.

If there are too many ads in games, it may be unwise to play the game. It's good to contact the developer and ask for an in-app purchase option to remove ads permanently. You can use some tricks to reduce the number of advertisements and still enjoy your game without any interruptions. The first blocks ads, while the other prevents them from appearing.

Ad-blockers can be a problem if you are trying to access certain functions in the game (unlocking characters and free in-game currency) or awards. By removing ads, you can make your iPhone's gaming experience more enjoyable and cleaner.

Aeroplane mode is turned on.

Mobile ads are most often sent via the internet. You can disable these by turning off Wi-Fi and mobile data. Airplane Mode is the easiest way to disable them.

Swipe open the Control Center to activate Airplane Mode. This is the fastest and easiest way to do it. To enable Airplane Mode on iPhone models with Face ID, swipe up from the top of the screen. Touch ID models: swipe up from the bottom.

Next, tap on the aeroplane icon to activate Airplane Mode. It will turn orange. The cellular data icon will change from green to greyed and cannot be turned back on during Airplane Mode. The Wi-Fi icon will change from blue to grey by default. However, it is possible to turn it back on. iOS will remember your previous choices if you tap on the Wi-Fi button that is still blue to grey.

The internet connection will be cut off on your iPhone, disable advertising in mobile games. You may occasionally see placeholders that are blank for ads. However, the ads should not appear or be played unless created offline.

You may also encounter other difficulties. Some mobile games might not work if you aren't connected to the internet. You'll need to use one of the methods below to fix this. Ads can disappear, but certain functions may be broken if you don't have an internet connection.

 

A VPN app with an integrated Adblocker can be used.

Popular VPNs in the App store used ad-blocker capabilities to be used system-wide. But Apple began rejecting them after a policy shift that restricted them to Safari only. With more recent policies, VPN apps now have some wider ad-blocking capabilities.

 

Luna is considered one of the most reliable free VPNs for mobile. It doesn't just block websites and encrypt data that comes into your phone, but it also blocks ads from third-party apps, including games.

·    App Store Link: Luna (free)

Open Luna on your iPhone and download it. Make sure that you are connected to Wi-Fi before this app can work. Next, tap the power button at the top of the page. When asked if you want to add a VPN configuration, click "Allow". Finally, enter your passcode. The VPN connection will be automatically established for Luna. After you have connected, all ads will disappear from mobile games downloaded from the App Shop.

This method can cause in-game bugs. Like all VPNs free of charge, Luna makes money selling your data, so it may not be worth the risk.

 

Make sure to use a dedicated adblocker.

You can search the App Store for "ad-blocking apps" and find dozens and even hundreds of options. However, most of them are only compatible with Safari or third-party browsers. Some apps like Weblock and Adblock can block ads throughout the system, including mobile games, for a very small fee. We will be using Weblock ($1.99), but the app should explain the process regardless of what app you use.

·    App Store Link Weblock (1.99)

After Weblock has been installed, open it. Follow the steps to copy its configuration link. Next, open Settings and go to Wi-Fi. Tap on the information icon beside the Wi-Fi network. This will only work if you are connected to Wi-Fi.

Scroll down to "Configure Proxy" in the Wi-Fi settings. This should be turned off by default. From the various options, choose "Automatic" and then paste the configuration link in the URL field. Next, click "Save" to open Weblock.

You can enable different adblocker filters in Weblock or any other adblocker that you use. You can find blockers for all types of ads below, including general, Chinese and Russian ads and app-specific ones. After you enable the correct ones, ads should be removed from your mobile games.

Like the other methods, you could cause some limitations to the game's functionality, such as the ability to unlock rewards or watch an advertisement.
