We’ve barely launched the AdGuard DNS mobile app, and it’s already time for an update! Starting with version 1.1, the app now supports Managed App Configuration on both Android and iOS — a valuable new feature for organizations that need to manage app behavior consistently across multiple devices.

Managed App Configuration is a solution that allows IT administrators to configure the app remotely, without requiring any manual setup from the end user. This means that companies, schools, and other organizations can deploy AdGuard DNS at scale with all settings pre-set, ensuring a consistent and secure rollout across thousands of devices at once.

Here’s what you can do with the new feature:

With centrally managed configuration, Team and Enterprise users can ensure that every device connected to their DNS server follows a standardized setup, reducing potential configuration mistakes and simplifying support. Policies such as controlled settings can be enforced automatically, and the app clearly indicates to users that it is managed by their organization.

This centralized control makes deployment faster, more reliable, and more secure, giving companies peace of mind and a smoother experience for their employees.

We’re excited to announce something simple, yet powerful: the AdGuard DNS mobile app is here!

Available for Android and iOS, this lightweight app makes it effortless to configure your mobile device to use AdGuard DNS servers. If you don’t need advanced AdGuard features but still want secure, privacy-friendly DNS, the AdGuard DNS mobile app is the simplest way to get it in just a few taps.

If you’re looking for DNS-level protection — blocking ads, trackers, and malicious websites — but don’t need the full range of features offered by AdGuard Ad Blocker or AdGuard VPN, this app is perfect for you.

If you ever want to go further, you can always explore AdGuard Ad Blocker and AdGuard VPN apps for advanced DNS protection and more configuration options.

Instead of installing extra apps or going through complicated instructions, you just enter a single setup ID, provided in the dashboard, and you’re done — the device will be tied to your account. Even non-technical users can set it up in seconds.

Don’t want to type anything? Just scan a QR code and the app connects the device to your account automatically. This makes it easy to set up protection on your family’s or team’s devices.

The AdGuard DNS app supports all major DNS protocols, letting you pick the best one for your device and connection type.

Both Android and iOS users can choose a VPN-based mode for more flexibility (DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, or DNS-over-QUIC) — AdGuard DNS uses a VPN profile to route your requests to the selected DNS server. Exclusively on iOS, users have access to the native OS protocol (DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS).

To choose a protocol, go to Settings and tap Protocol in the General section. Select the one that suits you best.

Ready to enable DNS protection? Here’s a guide to get you started:

When using a VPN-based protocol, you still need to allow creating a VPN profile before being fully protected. To do this, go to the app’s home page, click Enable, and follow the in-app instructions.

iOS users who prefer native DNS still need to go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management → DNS and enable AdGuard DNS.

This is version 1.0, just the beginning. We already have a roadmap full of improvements and new features, so you can expect regular updates with enhancements. And yes, we’re also working on a desktop version!
