Can AdGuard Block YouTube Ads on Android 13? (Pixel 4XL)

If it should block ads, it isn't and the ads are extremely annoying.

I never see ads on my Windows machines but ads make viewing unpleasant on Android.

What am I doing wrong? Please advise.

YouTube app not, website yes.

Thanks! I don't use the app.

I use Edge on Android and when I am reading an article and I touch any YouTube video, even accidentally,, up pops a noisy ad instead.

Not only is it offensive, but it is noisy and if I am sitting in a waiting room, it is embarrassing..

Https filtering is enabled?

I don't see that filtering option on my Android app and ads keep popping up.

Oh, and I see it says no license but I am a paid user.

When I go through the settings and check license status, it says 'get premium'.

Is that different from my Windows subscription that is working just fine?

You need to enter your license number into Android app.
HTTPS filtering: Settings -> Filtering -> Network -> HTTPS Filtering.

Please note the way is possible a bit different since latest Nightly version which I am using changed layout a bit.

What an effing waste of time. It says I have no license key, yet AdGuard is working fine on Windows and shows a key but it is munged.

DM me your license key\email associated with your AdGuard account. Might be that your license either is an old type of license either you don't have a slot for a new device. In case of second option, head to adguard.com and login to your personal account, head to "My licenses" tab and unbind the non-used device. Then activate your key once again.
