Hi all, in this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to block and delete unwanted adds (even those in apps, videos or music stream) without having to install an application or jailbreaking your iOS device.

To do so, we're going to use a free service called speedmeup.

Go to "Settings"

On your iOS device click on the "Settings" button.

Test That Everything Is Running Smoothly

Go to the diagnostic page and test if the configuration of SpeedMeUp is working.

If everything has been properly setup, you will read a message saying so. If not, double check that you have not misspelled the URL in step 4.

The next big software update for iPhone is coming sometime in April and will include a Food section in Apple News+, an easy-to-miss new Ambient Music app, Priority Notifications thanks to Apple Intelligence, and updates to apps like Mail, Photos, Podcasts, and Safari. See what else is coming to your iPhone with the iOS 18.4 update.
