How to Disable the Pop Up Blocker on an iPhone 7

Pop-ups have a bad reputation after being used for disruptive and even dangerous purposes in the past. As a result of the problems that they created previously, most popular browsers now default to blocking these pop-ups from appearing at all.

The Safari browser on your iPhone is one such browser that blocks pop-ups by default. This can be a problem, however, if you are doing something where you actually need to access something that is trying to display as a pop up.

Fortunately, you have the ability to stop blocking pop ups on your iPhone if you want to. Our tutorial below will show you where to find and change this setting.
