The Apple Safari browser can allow or block the pop-ups in the browser window. By default, the pop-ups are blocked. However, if necessary, you can disable the block pop-up option from the Apple settings menu.
It is not recommended to keep the pop-up blocker disabled because it protects from annoying pop-up windows and redirects.
In this guide, I have shared instructions about:

Block the Site Pop-ups
We can easily block the website pop-ups with a toggle switch, which can lead to phishing sites or unwanted adverts. Here are the steps to follow:
- Open the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and select the Safari menu for Settings.
- From Safari Settings, toggle the button to enable the Block Pop-ups option.
It will completely block all the pop-ups trying to load within the Safari browser.
Allow Site Pop-ups Windows
In some cases, we need to allow pop-ups for the website to function. For example, the payment gateways and merchant sites use pop-up windows to process the payment. Here are the steps on how to allow pop-ups:
- Open the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and select Safari for Settings.
- From Safari Settings, toggle the button to disable the Block Pop-ups option.
It will enable and allow pop-ups and redirects in the Safari browser for every website.
Bottom Line
The pop-up and redirect within the browser should be generally kept in blocking mode. By default, Safari browser is set to block the pop-ups. However, we can temporarily allow the pop-ups from the settings menu.
Similarly, we can block or allow pop-ups in Safari browser on Mac. As mentioned, be careful while allowing the pop-ups, as this can lead to phishing sites that can hack your credentials and data.
