Hi HiddenAccName,

To block pop-up ads and windows in Safari, we recommend that you try the steps here: Block pop-up ads and windows in Safari - Apple Support

To perform the recommended troubleshooting steps via the link above, complete the steps in the section titled "Check Safari settings."

On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Safari.

* Turn on Block Pop-ups.

* Turn on Fraudulent Website Warning.

On your Mac, open Safari and choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences) from the menu bar.

* In the Websites tab, you can configure options to allow or block some or all pop-ups.

* In the Security tab, turn on the setting to warn when visiting a fraudulent website.

We recommend the steps above because they will show you how to block pop-up ads and windows in Safari.

Please let us know the outcome after giving the above steps a try.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

Cheers!

After much frustration on my iPad, I turned the pop up blocker back on, then turned it off again. Voila‼️

This is so frustrating After ALLOWING pop ups we still don't see popups since updating to Sonoma IOS 14.3.1 on my brand new MacBook. I need the pop up to login after VPN connection to work server. It worked prior to the Sonoma IOS update. I have tried setting the pop up to allow the wanted pop up. Still nothing. HELP !!! I can't work remote any longer.

The above recommendations in Safari for blocking pop-ups do not work since Apple’s update of 17.4.1.

Also having trouble typing on the keyboard as it wants to delete words, change the alphabetical bar to letters during mid-stream of a sentence, mojitos are gone…

Apple does not reply here. It's a place for the community to help each other. You're never going to get Apple to engage an individual one-to-one about such a thing. The best we can do is file a bug report.

This is not a real response. They stated they have it on. It cant even block things opening up a new window anymore.

Because of your pointless response and lack of responsibility, the problem will not be shared with developers who want to know if something is wrong. Thats the whole point of having a human support team.

I’m having the same problem, also have all of my setting correct, also only having this problem since the last update. Also everyone in my family having this same issue, since the update, despite settings. APPLE: FIX THIS. I literally have to turn my phone off, once the videos start popping up. The second I close out the video, another one pops up, before I can even close out the tab. Turning off my phone is the only thing that stops it.

This is redundant and a complete FAIL. It seems there is so answer and even though Apple does not reply here, there are many really Apple-Mac savvy people in this community. There’s been not one answer other than the obvious two Safari settings (iPhone) and good advice travels fast (just like good & bad news!). That leads me to believe that Apple doesn’t yet have a fix. Very unhappy with this situation.

i Have my phone set to block pop ups and alert re fraudulent sites. It doesn’t make a difference.

i did not have this problem before the latest update.

Same.

Having pop up issues with my Mac OS Sonoma. Pop up blocker is on.

same as before

So annoying, I can’t get total ad block to work either.

I have iPhone 11 Pro Max 😥😥😥😥
