      How would my mom go about easily blocking YouTube ads on her iPhone?

        Install AdGuard pro and replace YouTube app with a shortcut to open YouTube in Safari. Adblockers can’t block ads in the app but can in Safari.

        She wouldn’t, that’s why she bought an iPhone, because “it just works!”.

          So then it really shouldn’t be too shocking for the person I replied to.
