Guidance on how to allow pop-ups in Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac

On iPhone and iPad, you cannot currently specify which sites you want to allow pop-ups for.

It’s a global setting that you can enable or disable. The best option to allow pop-ups for a particular site is to turn off the setting, visit the website you want to see the pop-ups for, and then turn the setting back on.

When you finish visiting the site whose pop-ups you want to see, you should strongly consider turning the Block Pop-ups setting back on. Otherwise, you could end up inundated with ads or even unsafe pop-ups on your device.
