Meet the beta of the upcoming v2.5: iOS 18 introduced customizable app icons, so we added our own versions for Light, Dark, and Tinted icons. Now, the AdGuard VPN app icon blends with its surroundings like a true ninja.

Here’s what they look like, but check them out yourself too!

2.4

This update is all about exclusions — we hope you’ll have even more reasons to interact with them. In iOS, exclusions are now catching up with the functionality available in the AdGuard VPN desktop and Android apps. If you only use our iOS app, these changes will be rather new to you.

Domain lists for popular services

“Exclusions are simple: add google.com, and VPN will be off for Google. You don’t even need to tap Disconnect.”

Yes and no. Large services are tricky. They usually use more than one domain — one for media files, another for the API, plus domains for different countries. In the case of Google, we have 416 domains in our list — all of them need to be added to exclusions to completely turn VPN off (or on) for the service.

Now this list of domains is available in AdGuard VPN for iOS. How does it work?

1. Open Exclusions.
2. Tap Add website.
3. Tap From list.
4. Select the desired service from the popular ones.

Done! All necessary domains will be added automatically.

Improved subdomain management

In the past, you could switch to the “selected websites only” mode, add google.com to Exclusions, and the Google website would not know anymore where you were. But this wouldn’t work for Gmail, because the mail.google.com subdomain had to be added separately.

Now, when you manually add a domain, all subdomains are added automatically (it looks like *.google.com). Want to keep only google.com or turn VPN off for a specific domain? Tap the line with the website — it will open a separate screen where you can manage subdomains.

And if you manually add a subdomain, the main domain will also be added — but the checkbox next to it will not be checked.

Changelog

Improvements

• Smart Punctuation prevented from changing DNS server addresses #357

Fixes

• If the Internet connection is poor, some of the onboarding text is not loaded #366
• One-letter second-level domains and any top-level domains fail to be added to exclusions #347
• The cross in the email input field on the login screen disappears #344
• The message input field on Report a bug tab increases and is half hidden behind the keyboard when changing the network #345
• The message input field when sending a bug report doesn’t increase when the keyboard is closed after certain actions #340

The work is still in progress: in the next version, we’ll also add icons for each service.

Improved subdomain management

In the past, you might have added google.com to exclusions, and the Google website would think you’re in Germany. But Gmail wouldn’t, because the mail.google.com subdomain had to be added separately.

Now, when you manually add a domain, all subdomains are added automatically (it looks like *.google.com). Want to keep only google.com or turn VPN off for a specific domain? Tap the line with the website — it will open a separate screen where you can manage subdomains.

Even the sharpest of eyes won’t notice what we’ve fixed, so think of it as a tweak that doesn’t affect the app’s functionality, but makes our lives easier.
