Web Protection and Ad Blocking are Malwarebytes for iOS features that protect your Safari browsing experience by blocking malicious sites, ads, and trackers. Active web content restrictions, such as parental controls, on your iOS device can prevent you from turning on the Web Protection and Ad Blocking features.
If you have parental web controls, or other web content restrictions, turned on in your phone, you won't be able to toggle on Web Protection and Ad Blocking in iOS extension settings:
How to resolve the issue
To toggle on Web Protection and Ad Blocking extension settings, you need to turn off web content restrictions on your iOS device. See Apple's article Use parental controls to manage your child's iPhone or iPad under the Prevent inappropriate web content section.
Once web content is unrestricted, toggle the extension settings on.
