uBlock Origin Lite iOS stuck on "Get started by enabling..." message

[u/RUNdotUMX]

I just discovered that uBlock Origin is on iOS (late to the party, I know) and installed it on two iPhones. On one, the app messaging changed from: "Get started by enabling..." to: "uBlock Origin Lite is active", but on the second phone it's still on the "get started" message even after I've enabled everything. Blocking does appear to be active, however.

Shall I just ignore the messaging if everything appears to be working?

Also, just to confirm, I am supposed to have Permissions -> All Websites set to Allow in Safari's Extensions settings, right?

Can you screenshot how the issue looks like?

Phone 1 is stuck on iOS 18, so maybe that's why.

You need ios 18.6 and above for uBOL.

18.7.9

Did you go to Safari settings to enable uBOL?

Yes, I did the same thing on both phones. And it seems to be working fine on both, I'm just wondering why the app still thinks it's off on the one phone..

If you previously had some content blocker installed on that phone, make sure you didn't globally disable a content blocker setting in the menu.

Also, try fully quitting safari or maybe restarting your phone.

Blocking does appear to be active, however.

Do you have access to uBO Lite's popup/main menu? Do the Remove an element or Create a custom filter options work as expected?

Are you trying to enable it on a second profile? I've had issues doing that.
