I’m trying to keep my iPhone as privacy focused as possible. Yes… I know that android devices can be locked down more than iOS devices but I don’t need it to be the most private device ever. I just want to do what I can and block trackers, ads and encrypt my DNS traffic.

I have Adguard Pro, I have not tried NextDNS. But I don’t want to have a subscription fee if possible.

Are either of these apps good enough to keep my device as private as it can be or is there more I need to do? Which app would you use or recommend for this?

    You can point Adguard Pro and maybe even NextDNS to Mullvad’s DNS Server. So I wonder if doing that is better than using Mullvad’s DNS profile alone on an iOS device? Not sure, but Adguard Pro has a safari extension and more settings. So I wonder if doing that covers more?

      For me, if I’m gonna point it to Mullvad’s DNS servers anyway, then I might as well just use it directly. Having a profile also ensures all your traffic goes through there, instead of just browser traffic (if via extension).
