AdGuard DNS mobile app v1.3: Mass deployment in organizations made easier

AdGuard DNS continues to evolve beyond individual use cases.

In 2025, we’ve started to bring even more focus on improvements for large-scale environments such as corporations and schools. Two major milestones marked this direction. Firstly, AdGuard DNS began rolling out in Japanese schools, helping provide safer Internet access for students and teachers. Secondly, we released the AdGuard DNS mobile app to cover more advanced deployment scenarios — including integration with MDM platforms used by organizations to manage large numbers of devices.

And now, AdGuard DNS mobile app v1.3 brings a major step forward for organizations that need to mass deploy DNS protection on iOS and Android.

Single-touch deployment

Deploying AdGuard DNS to devices through MDMs became much easier. The new MAC (Mobile App Configuration) parameter reduces the steps on the user’s side to a single action. After the DNS settings are delivered to the device, the user just needs to open the AdGuard DNS app once — the rest of the settings will apply automatically.

This helps system administrators minimize effort needed in mass deployment scenarios involving hundreds or even thousands of managed mobile devices, such as employee iPhones or iPads.

Flexible onboarding

Two additional MAC parameters let MDM administrators reduce onboarding steps on behalf of the user. One skips the EULA consent screen, while another controls whether crash reporting and app usage statistics are enabled. This allows for more flexibility in managing the DNS activation process on the device.

Network stability improvements

We’ve made multiple optimizations to make the AdGuard DNS app’s connection more reliable, drastically reducing the possibility of DNS interruptions. This includes the situation when the network changes from mobile to Wi-Fi and vice versa.

Help us improve

We’re committed to making AdGuard DNS even better for both individual users and organizations. If you have any requests or ideas, share them with us on GitHub or social media — we highly appreciate all forms of feedback.
