AdGuard VPN v2.17 for iOS and Android: one update for two platforms
AdGuard VPN v2.17 is here — this time as a joint release for iOS and Android. Starting with this release, we’ll keep updates for both platforms in sync to bring you key features and improvements faster.
This version introduces revamped Shortcuts for iOS: you can control your connection in one tap or even with a Siri voice command.
We’ve also made it easier for Android users to check available promotions: they’ll now appear on the purchase screen right in the app. And finally, we’ve improved Exclusions on both platforms, with support for domains written in non-Latin scripts.
Take a shortcut
You start the day with AdGuard VPN on. Then you need it off for a few minutes to check your bank account, so you open the app, tap Disconnect, open the banking app, close the banking app, open the AdGuard VPN app again, and tap Connect.
Sure, that’s easy enough to do once, but what if you do the same thing five times a day? Shortcuts on iOS can make your life easier — you can connect or disconnect in one tap from your Home Screen, or set up an automation for a specific app.
To add a Connect, Disconnect, or Toggle VPN shortcut to your Home Screen, open the AdGuard VPN app and go to Settings → Shortcuts → Add Shortcuts to the Home Screen. You’ll find quick installation instructions there.
You can also add your shortcuts as a widget on the Home Screen, add a control to the Control Center, or set up automations to turn AdGuard VPN on for a specific app or Wi-Fi network.

Hey Siri, connect to AdGuard VPN
Sometimes even tapping the screen can feel like too much. Use a Siri voice command of your choosing to turn AdGuard VPN on and off whenever you want.
Open the AdGuard VPN app and go to Settings → Shortcuts → Set up Siri phrases. Record separate phrases for connecting and disconnecting, and AdGuard VPN will follow your command.
Catch every discount
This one is for Android users. If you’re waiting for the right moment to buy a VPN license, tracking discounts just got easier.
When a promotion is active, it appears on the purchase screen in the app. There’s no need to check our website or wait for an email to find out whether a special offer is available.
Change the script
You can now add domains written in non-Latin scripts, like *.рф for Russia and *.中国 for China. Just go to Exclusions → Add website and enter the domain you need.
As always, we’d be happy to hear your feedback. You can leave your suggestions on our social media channels or open an issue in our GitHub repositories for iOS and Android.
