iPhone 12 Pro Help with ads popping up.

[AndrewR23]

I have an iPhone 12 Pro here and iPhone 11 Pro. Both have the exact same settings. Same settings with ads. Why does one show the ad on the bottom preventing me from clicking glossary. The other does not have the ad.

same exact apps downloaded. Same settings. Same iOS. Truly bizarre

If you paid for one to get rid of the ads, you need to Restore Purchases on the other device so it won't show the ads either

Yeah that’s the thing. I had Adblock on the 12 pro but it was uninstalled months ago. Maybe it still worked after being uninstalled?

Adblock will only work in Safari, unless you are using a VPN to block ads.

Sometimes newer versions of the same identical app can display ads because the app developer updated the app to do so. App can seem identical in every way but the updated version shows ads while the old version doesn't.
That's why I don't update a functioning app anymore. Newer versions are inevitably worse or break something or now display ads where the old version didn't.

I should have been more clear. This is no app. This is just safari. One phone shows ads, one doesn't. Same exact settings
