iCloud Sync is a handy feature available in 1Blocker. It allows the app to keep your filters and custom rules the same across devices. This means that when you change a filter or add a custom rule on one device, the same change appears on all your other devices connected to your iCloud.

How to enable iCloud Sync in 1Blocker
Make sure all your devices are signed in to the same Apple Account. Then, do the following on each device you want to keep in sync.
iPhone & iPad:
Open 1Blocker.
Tap the Settings button at the top right.
Turn on iCloud Sync.
Mac:
Open 1Blocker.
In the menu bar at the top of the screen, go to 1Blocker > Settings.
Turn on iCloud Sync.
Good to know
Your data stays private. 1Blocker syncs through Apple's iCloud, so your data is encrypted and protected.
Offline changes are not lost. If a device is offline, your changes will sync as soon as it's back online.
Legacy status is stored in iCloud. If you are a Legacy user, and your status is not recognized, please enable iCloud Sync at least briefly. Once the app confirms your status, feel free to turn off iCloud Sync.
Family members keep their own settings. Family Sharing gives your family access to 1Blocker Premium, but each person's setup stays separate because they use different Apple Accounts.
Changes not syncing?
Make sure 1Blocker has permission to use iCloud in your system settings. These settings are usually on already, but it's worth checking them.
iPhone & iPad:
Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Saved to iCloud > See All > 1Blocker
Mac:
System Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Saved to iCloud > See All > 1Blocker
System Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Saved to iCloud > See All > iCloud Drive > Apps syncing to iCloud Drive > 1Blocker
Once all these settings are on, your changes will start syncing between your devices automatically.
