Most people consider pop-ups to be one of the internet's worst features. But despite how spammy they can be, a lot of legitimate websites use them for important reasons. For example, Amazon opens customer service chats in pop-ups, which some browsers block automatically.

Your iPhone's internet browser blocks pop-ups by default. But both Safari and Chrome let you change that and allow pop-ups.

Here's how to allow pop-ups in both Safari and Chrome on your iPhone.

How to allow pop-ups on an iPhone with Safari

Safari is your iPhone's built-in browser, so you'll have to use the built-in Settings app to change its options.

1. Open your iPhone's Settings app, then scroll down and tap Safari.

2. Under General, toggle off Block Pop-ups so the switch turns gray.

Flip the "Block Pop-ups" switch to the left.

How to allow pop-ups on an iPhone with Chrome

Chrome is a third-party web browser made by Google, and has its own in-app settings menu.

1. Open Chrome and tap the three dots in the bottom-right corner.

2. Select Settings.

3. In the Settings menu, scroll down and tap Content Settings.

"Content Settings" is one of the last options on this page.

4. Tap Block Pop-ups, then toggle off Block Pop-ups so the switch turns gray.

5. Tap Done in the top-right corner to save your change.
