That only blocks Safari, no? Whah about the rest of the apps?

You can also use the system-wide ad blockers that function via iOS’s built in VPN functionality. That’s how Android does it too.

I always found the VPN solution felt really heavy. I remember on Android you could at least also have hostfile and DNS blocking too... But maybe that was only because I was on a rooted device?

You’ve been able to use DNS-based solutions on iOS basically forever. I don’t really like them because they can be more technical than the average user is likely to jive with (they tend to cause a lot of issues browsing the web normally in my experience), but it’s pretty much always been around.
