Safari on an iPhone 11 blocks many pop-up windows by default. If a legitimate site needs a pop-up for a form, payment screen, or other feature, you can temporarily allow them in Safari settings.
Allow Safari pop-ups on iPhone 11
- Open the Settings app.
- Open the Safari settings. On newer iOS versions, this may be under Apps > Safari.
- Find Block Pop-ups.
- Turn Block Pop-ups off.
- Return to Safari and reload the page that needs the pop-up.
Safari’s setting applies broadly rather than granting a permanent pop-up exception to just one website. Consider turning Block Pop-ups back on after you finish with the trusted site.
If the window still does not appear
Check whether a content blocker or another browser setting is interfering, and make sure the site is actually trying to open a new window. Avoid enabling pop-ups in response to a suspicious page that claims your iPhone is infected or requires an urgent download.
