Nowadays almost all websites work via HTTPS, the web protocol where the last S letter stands for "secure". It happened so that most advertisers use this protocol as well, this is why [HTTPS filtering](/general/https-filtering/what-is-https-filtering) is really crucial for a modern ad blocker.

![What is HTTPS](https://cdn.adtidy.org/public/Adguard/Blog/https/what_is_https.png)

To be able to filter HTTPS traffic, AdGuard needs to install a certificate into your device's user storage. On older versions of Android OS this was done automatically during the onboarding process or later via AdGuard settings, and it only required a couple of taps. On Android 11 and later automatic certificate installation is no longer available. Now you need to install the certificate manually.

Additionally, you can add AdGuard Ad Blocker and AdGuard VPN tiles to your device's notification bar and toggle them in one tap at your own will — thanks to Compatibility Mode the configuration will change immediately and silently.

On Android devices running OS 6 and earlier, built-in statistics often attributed high data and/or battery usage to AdGuard. This was because AdGuard counted all the traffic it filtered from various apps. As a result, AdGuard's share of total data and battery usage was overstated, while other apps were understated.

With OS 7, however, this scenario has improved. Now the data reflected in Android's built-in data usage statistics is very close to reality, although there are minor discrepancies in the battery usage data.

A number of users have encountered an issue where Samsung Pay does not work while AdGuard is running. This issue occurs almost exclusively on devices registered in South Korea.

What is causing this issue? Sometimes Samsung Pay does not work on devices with VPN services running, and AdGuard is one of these applications. By default, AdGuard uses Local VPN to filter traffic. As a result, users had to disable AdGuard when making payments with Samsung Pay. This can now be avoided with the new **Detect Samsung Pay** feature. When this option is enabled, the AdGuard app is paused whenever the user opens the Samsung Pay app and resumes when the app is closed.
