how to allow pop ups on safari

To allow pop-ups in Safari, follow these steps depending on your device:

On Mac (Safari browser)

1. Open Safari.
2. Go to Safari > Settings (or Preferences) from the menu bar.
3. Click the Websites tab.
4. On the left sidebar, scroll down and select Pop-up Windows.
5. You will see a list of currently open websites. For a specific site, choose Allow from the pop-up menu next to the website.
6. To allow pop-ups on all websites, scroll to the bottom to the option When visiting other websites and select Allow.
7. If you want to change existing settings for specific sites, select the site and click Remove to reset, then set your preferred option

On iPhone or iPad (Safari app)

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap Safari.
3. Find the toggle for Block Pop-ups and turn it off to allow pop-ups

Additional Notes

• Allowing pop-ups might be necessary for some websites to function properly, such as banking or document viewing sites.
• Blocking pop-ups can prevent unwanted ads but might also block useful content.
• If pop-ups persist despite blocking settings, your device might have unwanted software; consider running security checks

This method works for Safari on macOS and iOS devices to manage pop-up permissions effectively.
