Future Brave iOS versions will further close the gap between platforms. These workarounds mean Brave iOS users can enjoy a greater number of the dynamic blocking capabilities already available on Desktop and Android. Starting in version 1.41, Brave iOS includes workarounds for some of the limitations Apple imposes on iOS browsers. As a result, Brave iOS users have not been able to enjoy the full range of advanced blocking and content filtering protections available on our Desktop and Android releases. These restrictions are very similar to the kinds of alarming restrictions Google is pushing through its Manifest v3 system. Though useful, Apple’s Content Blocking system has significant limitations, including restrictions on the number and kinds of tracker-blocking rules that can be applied.

Since the recent Brave iOS 1.39 release, Brave protects users from a form of tracking where the tracker records what sites you visit by getting between you and the content you want to see.

Apple-imposed restrictions make it difficult for us to include some of the advanced privacy protections from our Desktop and Android browsers in our iOS browser. Recent versions of Brave on iOS include many new privacy features, ensuring that Brave iOS users have the strongest available protections of any iOS browser.
