4.12

2025-10-01T18:40:48Z

With this release, using AdGuard for Android on tablets has become more convenient — thanks to everyone who voted for the landscape mode. We’ve also added the new Share settings feature and made improvements to CoreLibs. Read more about the new features below and don’t forget to update to version 4.12!

Landscape mode

As we always say, your feedback is really important to us, and this time we’ve added one of the most requested features — landscape mode. Using AdGuard on a tablet is now even more convenient.

Some screens still need polishing, but we’re actively working on them!

Share settings

We’ve also added the Share settings feature. Now you don’t need to reconfigure everything on a new device or spend time describing your settings when reporting a missed ad — just share a link or scan a QR code.

To share your settings, go to Settings → Menu (⋮) → Share settings. If someone sends you a link, just open it in a browser and tap Import.

CoreLibs

The new CoreLibs release includes bug fixes and various improvements. For example, userscripts now work more reliably on SPA (Single Page Application) websites. Check the changelog for full details.

4.10

2025-06-25T17:22:52Z

AdGuard for Android v4.10 introduces important improvements to the HTTPS certificate installation process, making it more intuitive and accessible for users.

When you install AdGuard and launch the app for the first time, you’re prompted to install an HTTPS certificate. This step is essential because the certificate plays a key role in ensuring effective ad filtering in browsers. Without it, filtering quality is significantly reduced. That’s why it’s crucial for all users, beginner or advanced, to be able to complete the installation without difficulty.

We knew there was room for improvement in the whole process — the previous instructions often didn’t reflect the actual settings found on devices from different manufacturers, and there was also a bug that prevented users from returning to the instructions after leaving the app.

To address these issues, we’ve added in-app guides for the most common devices — including Google Pixel, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and OnePlus — with adjustments based on Android OS version and user locale. We’ve also fixed the bug mentioned above.

Changelog

Added HTTPS filtering by default for the Lemur browser #5577

Fixes

AdGuard gets disabled when WebView is stopped or updated #5537

Some parameters are not included in the link when reporting an incorrect blocking #5520
When opening a link in a browser, two AdGuard apps appear in the list of browsers, and one of which does not work as expected #5592
