      It blocks ads on phones inside apps if you use DNS ad blocking.

        YouTube app is not possible to block ads . You need to access YouTube with a mobile internet browser that support plugins . Like Firefox in android and safari in iOS .

          Yes, but that’s a special case and related to how the ads are served from the same servers as video content.

          AdGuard will block banners, splash screens etc in apps as any other DNS service and not as stated generally not work in apps.

      There are AdBlock options for Android that can work on apps. Generally you need to route all internet traffic via the AdBlock app which requires root, a faux-VPN, or a PiHole type solution.

      It can usually only do host-level blocking but that’s generally enough.
