Additional Information
I just opened Ad Guard iOS Pro & noticed none of my filters had been updated since late Nov/early Dec. That is a long time w/ no updates. It is set to update every 3 hours but is not.
@GlitchHopAnonymous thank you, we are aware of this issue. Unfortunately, many factors in the IOS system affect the auto-update. Nevertheless, we will try to improve this in the future
Not sure how difficult this would be, but would it be possible to use the ios shortcuts app as a workaround?
If the function to manually update the filter lists is exposed as an action in shortcuts, then it would be pretty trivial for users to create an automation to handle auto triggering the filter update. For instance, setting the automation to trigger daily at 11pm.

Possibly related issue https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/210688 I also have seen the same complaints in other places and wondering if it's possible for you to update the whole app more frequently with the latest filters packed just like the MV3 Chrome extension. It seems 280blocker actually did so when Ad-Shield countered frequently.
