Hi all, Just wondered if someone may help, I have iPad mini 2 but when I use safari I want to use an ad blocker, However I have downloaded two up to now and when I click on install they supposedly install but I can find no trace of them any where and they are not working so I don't know where they disappeared to.
has anyone any pointers for me please, Thanks, Terry

You need to enable them: Settings > Safari > Content Blockers (not 100% sure of the wording on this last one but it's similar). Toggle each one on.

You should also then go into each blocker app and set things up, etc. just in case you want to change settings or in case the app needs to update lists, etc.

Thanks for your replies, I did all that you have suggested to download from the app store then when it offers for me to install I clicked install then put my id in to confirm but then the screen disappeared and it went back to download screen this was my question, however I persisted and kept on going through the same routine and eventually it worked so don't know what was going on there, maybe a glitch in the app store.
i downloaded 1blocker and it installed ok and seems to be doing what I need, anyway thanks once again, Terry.
