Why Whitelist Websites?
Whitelisting websites allows you to exempt trusted websites from being blocked by 1Blocker. It's particularly useful for websites that rely on ads for revenue, so by whitelisting them, you can support their operations and enjoy their content without interruptions. Additionally, whitelisting prevents false positives, ensuring that 1Blocker doesn't accidentally block any essential elements on your favorite websites.
How to Whitelist Websites
Step 1: Open 1Blocker Settings
Open the 1Blocker app on your iOS device and tap on the Settings tab located at the bottom of the screen.
Step 2: Access Whitelisted Websites
Scroll down the Settings page and tap on Whitelisted Websites.
Step 3: Add a Website to Whitelist
To add a website to the whitelist, tap on the Add Website button. Type the URL of the website you want to whitelist and tap Done on the keyboard.
Step 4: Verify and Apply Changes
You will now see the website added to the list of whitelisted websites. Double-check the URL to ensure it's correct. Tap Back to apply the changes and start enjoying your newly whitelisted website.
Customize Whitelisted Websites
1Blocker gives you the flexibility to customize your whitelisted websites. Here are a few handy options you can explore:
Option 1: Edit Whitelisted Websites
To edit a website in the whitelisted list, simply swipe left on the website entry and tap Edit. Update the URL or website details as needed, and tap Done to save the changes.
Option 2: Remove Whitelisted Websites
If you want to remove a website from the whitelisted list, swipe left on the website entry and tap Delete. Confirm the deletion by tapping Delete again.
Option 3: Whitelist Domains
Apart from specific websites, you can also whitelist entire domains. For example, if you want to whitelist all websites under "example.com," add "example.com" to the whitelisted websites. This way, any website under that domain will be exempted from blocking.
Troubleshooting
Why is a whitelisted website still being blocked?
If you find that a whitelisted website is still being blocked, it's possible that the website contains additional elements or content that are being blocked individually. In such cases, navigate to the website in Safari and inspect any blocked elements. You can then manually whitelist those specific elements in 1Blocker.
My whitelisted websites are not syncing across devices.
1Blocker offers iCloud sync, so your whitelisted websites should be automatically synced across devices. However, ensure that you are signed in to the same iCloud account on all your devices. If the issue persists, try logging out and logging back in to iCloud or contact 1Blocker support for further assistance.
