Need some help?
We've put together the answers to a few questions people have asked. Hopefully, you'll find the answer to your question here. If not, please don't hesitate to send us an email here.
How does it work?
Apple created Content Blockers providing users with the ability to block certain content on web pages in Safari. Clariti uses these frameworks and a list of phrases you supply to tell Safari what should be blocked.
Does BATT know which websites I visit?
All content blockers like BATT cannot see what sites you visit. If you use the "Report a problem" feature you can send us a report telling us that a site is broken by one of BATT's block rules. The report includes the website hostname, i.e. www.apple.com, but nothing beyond that. The report is completely anonymous, we don't ask for a name or email address, and we never even see your IP address.
What's a whitelist, and how do I whitelist a site?
If you find a website that you don't want BATT to block content on, tap the share action button in Safari and tap the Block All The Things icon. The screen will tell you whether the site is going to be added or removed from the whitelist. If there's an Add button it means the site is not already in the whitelist. Tap the button to add it, and BATT won't act on any pages in that entire domain.
Can I remove a site from the whitelist?
Yes, in two ways:
-- Use the same process as adding a site: Tap the share action button in Safari, tap the BATT icon, then tap Remove.
-- Use the app. Go into the Sites screen and swipe the url to the left, then tap the delete icon; or tap the url and tap the Delete button in the edit panel. The content blocker will then be reloaded.
How do I tell you a website is broken by BATT?
Simple. Go to the website in Safari and tap the share action button. It looks like a box with an arrow pointing up out of it. Then tap the Block All The Things icon. (If you can't see the icon, tap More, Edit Actions..., or Manage Extensions and enable BATT. You might want to move it further up so it's easily accessible.)
When you tap the BATT icon you'll see a button to add the site to the whitelist and a button to report a problem on the current website. Note that we do not ask you for any contact information. Problem reports are completely anonymous.
How often are the blocklists updated?
As often as we find issues with them. We tend to batch updates so we release as few as possible. To get the latest updates just tap the Check for updates button in the app. You can only do this every few hours, so we don't waste bandwidth.
If you have any questions at all, please get in touch!
