Magic Lasso Adblock, with Apple TV ad blocking, is available now for all Magic Lasso subscribers, at no additional cost.

Read on to see how easy it is to get started blocking ads on your Apple TV.

Ad blocking for Apple TV

Magic Lasso Adblock has always been the best way to block ads on your iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Now, with the new v5.1 release, it goes even further — also blocking ads and trackers in apps on your Apple TV.

With the new Apple TV ad blocking release, you can:

Block ads in your favourite streaming apps – Enjoy your shows the way they were meant to be seen — without constant interruptions. Automatically remove many video and banner ads across your favourite streaming video apps, keeping playback smooth and immersive while reducing clutter and distractions.
Stop hidden in-app trackers – Many Apple TV apps secretly track your viewing history and activity, selling your data to third parties. Magic Lasso Adblock on the Apple TV shuts down these trackers before they load, giving you stronger privacy protection.
Speed up your internet – Apple TV ad blocking runs as a local VPN proxy — performing all ad blocking on your device, locally and privately. It also routes traffic through a fast, private DNS, improving speed and reducing data leaks to your ISP.
See what has been blocked – Performance Insights shows a live graph of what ads and trackers are being blocked every hour, enabling you to see the difference ad blocking has to your daily TV viewing.

Best of all, Apple TV ad blocking is included at no extra cost.

It builds upon Magic Lasso’s powerful Safari, YouTube and App ad blocking features for iPhone, iPad and Mac — making it the most complete and private ad blocker for Apple devices.

Private, Secure, On-device Apple TV Ad Blocking

Based upon our industry leading App Ad Blocking technology, our Apple TV app focuses on three key goals:

Prioritize user privacy
Make setup quick and easy
Ensure top-tier efficiency and performance

Privacy-first, always

Magic Lasso Adblock for tvOS processes everything directly on your local Apple TV. That means ads are blocked without any data ever leaving your device — offering stronger privacy than VPN or DNS-based ad blockers that rely on external servers.

We also follow a strict zero data collection policy. We don’t collect, track, or store your viewing history, app activity, or any personal data — period.

Simple to use

We designed our Apple TV app to be easy for everyone, not just tech-savvy users. It takes just two taps to turn it on, and once enabled, it automatically blocks ads and trackers across your Apple TV apps.

If you ever come across an app that has issues with ad blocking enabled, we also include the ability to create Custom Rules – meaning you can easily Allow or Block any recently accessed URLs that may need to be accessible for apps to function. These Custom Rules also sync automatically across the iOS and macOS versions of the app using iCloud.

Built for performance

Our Apple TV ad blocking technology is developed in Swift as a native Apple network extension. That means it runs fast, uses less memory, and integrates securely with your device.

Unlike other network-based ad blockers built with slower or less efficient technologies, ours is optimized for performance on Apple platforms — delivering smooth, reliable protection without over-loading your system.

While not all Apple TV apps will have all their ads completely blocked with Magic Lasso installed, we’ll continue to improve our ad blocking coverage – and ad blocking rules – with each new app release.

How To Block Ads in Apple TV Apps

Magic Lasso Adblock is now available to download from the App Store on your Apple TV.
