Simple
Simple on purpose. Open Lens and just type. No tab groups, no feeds, no clutter.
Search with DuckDuckGo, Brave, Kagi, Ecosia, Google or Bing.
By the numbers
Fast and light. Built only with Apple’s own tools, on the engine already in your iPhone, so there’s less to download and less to run.

Blocking
The web, without the noise. Ads, trackers and most cookie pop-ups never even load. The lists behind it update every day.
- Site acting up? Pause blocking for just that site, from the page menu.
Hide Elements
Zap anything. Something on a page bugs you? Tap it, zap it, and it’s gone forever.
- Went too far? Undo as you go, or bring back everything hidden on a site.
Privacy
Private, for real. Lens knows nothing about you. No account, no tracking, no ads.
- Secure by default. Every connection is HTTPS, and tracking codes are stripped from the links you open.

bytes collected about you
iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo
At home on every screen. Roomy on iPad. Read the web like a book on iPhone Duo.
The details. Quality-of-life features, each done properly.
A proper download manager.
Files keep going in the background and pick up where they stopped. Save, share or open them when you’re ready.
What font is that?
Select any text to see the font that’s really drawing it, with its size, weight, spacing and colour.
A web inspector in your pocket.
Tap anything to see its box, colours and contrast. Hold a second element to measure the gap, or pause, open a menu, and inspect that too.
Reader mode, simple and beautiful.
Just the words, in seven colours, with the font and size you like.
Translate any site.
Pages are translated on your iPhone as you scroll. One tap brings back the original.
Made for iPhone
Feels like it came with your iPhone. Built only with Apple’s own tools, so the things you rely on in Safari work here too.
Passwords and passkeys
Your iCloud passwords and passkeys fill in by themselves, just like in Safari.
AutoFill and Apple Pay
One-time codes from Messages and Apple Pay at checkout, with a tap.
iCloud sync
Pins, history and open tabs on all your devices, end-to-end encrypted.
Your default browser
Links from Messages, Mail and every other app open right here.
Wallet passes
Tickets and boarding passes go straight into Apple Wallet.
Siri, Shortcuts and Control Center
Open a new tab or a private one from Siri, Shortcuts, Control Center or the Lock Screen.
Spotlight and Handoff
Find your pins from iPhone search, and carry on reading on your other Apple devices.
Face ID
Lock your private tabs and your history, so they open only for you.
And there’s more. Little things you didn’t know you needed.
Tabs that tidy themselves
Tabs you haven’t looked at in a day slip into the Archive on their own. Nothing is lost.
Forms stay safe
Filling in a form? That tab stays open until you send it. Even if the page crashes, what you typed comes back.
All in a gesture
Pinch a page to see your tabs, swipe along the bar to switch, flick a card up to close it.
Smart Buttons
Reader, Translate, video controls and Downloads appear beside the bar only when a page needs them, then melt away.
Peek and scroll links
Touch and hold a link to preview the page and scroll it, then tap to open it where you left off.
Custom pin icons
Favourite sites above the keyboard, with their own icon or one of about 80 symbols.
Settings for each site
Zoom, Reader, desktop mode, fullscreen and blocking, remembered site by site. Or forget a site and everything it saved.
Swipe anywhere
Swipe sideways anywhere on a page to go back or forward, not just from the edge.
Copy as Markdown
Copy an article as clean Markdown for your notes or an AI chat.
Lens for Mac
On your Mac, too. Your pins and your iPhone’s tabs, one click away in the menu bar.
Questions? Answers.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. No ads, no subscriptions, no paid version. If you’d like to support it, you can leave a tip in Settings, and any tip unlocks a few extra app icons as a thank you.
What does “zero data collected” mean?
Lens has no account, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. It doesn’t record what you search, what you visit or how you use the app, and nothing like that is sent to us or anyone else. Your history, pins and settings stay on your device, or in your own iCloud, end-to-end encrypted, if you turn on sync. The details are in the privacy policy.
A site isn’t working right. What can I do?
Open the page menu and, under Settings for This Page, turn off Block Ads & Trackers for just that site. Every other site stays protected.
Is Lens built on Safari? Is it as secure?
Lens uses WebKit, the same engine as Safari, so pages look and work just the same, and security fixes arrive with every iOS update.
Which devices does Lens work on?
Any iPhone or iPad with iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 and later: iPhone 11 and newer, iPhone SE (2nd generation) and newer, and iPad (8th generation), iPad mini (5th generation), iPad Air (3rd generation) and every iPad Pro from 2018 on. Lens for Mac, a free menu bar companion that shows your pins and the tabs open on your iPhone, needs macOS 26.
Can I bring my bookmarks from another browser?
Not yet. Lens uses pins instead: add your favourite sites once, and they’re one tap away above the keyboard, on all your devices.
Extensions? Other languages?
Lens has no extensions: ad blocking, Reader, Translate and the rest are built in. The app speaks 14 languages, from Greek to Japanese, and follows your iPhone’s language. Websites in any other language can be translated right on your iPhone.

Nothing in your way. No feeds, no clutter, no AI you didn't ask for. Just the web, the way you meant to see it.
