How it uses iPhone Duo

The version 3.9 release notes, published on the App Store on October 7, 2026, list "Support for iPhone Duo" and say you can now view logs and request details side by side on iPad and iPhone Duo. The side-by-side view is shared with iPad and no folded versus unfolded behavior is described, so we list it as Adapted. We have not yet tested it on an iPhone Duo.

About this app

NextDNS Remote is an independent app from RocketScience IT for people who use the NextDNS filtering service and want to manage it from an iPhone or iPad. It connects through the NextDNS API and is not affiliated with NextDNS, and it requires a NextDNS account. The analytics view shows total and blocked queries with charts grouped by profile, plus breakdowns by domain, device and security, over a timespan you choose. The query log shows what your devices are requesting, including a live-updating mode, and explains why a given request was blocked. You can edit blocklists, deny and allow lists, native tracking protection and parental controls, toggle blocking for services and categories, and switch between several accounts and profiles. Viewing is free; a NextDNS+ one-time purchase or subscription unlocks changing settings, the live log, multiple accounts and higher limits. Version 3.9, released on October 7, 2026, added iPhone Duo support, a Connection Status widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and a side-by-side view of logs and request details on iPad and iPhone Duo.

NextDNS Remote is a third party app for controlling your NextDNS setup. You can view statistics and logs, as well as change blocking settings and lists. *Analytics* See the number of (blocked) queries and a chart of your recent activity, grouped by profile. Furthermore, you can see different analytics about domains, devices, security, and more. The timespan of the charts & statistics is configurable. *Query Log* Explore what requests your devices make (including a 'live updating' feature), as well as see details about the query and device. For blocked queries you can find out why they're blocked. *Blocking* Edit your blocklist, deny & allowlist, native tracking protection, and more. Quickly toggle blocking for services and categories. *Settings* You have the ability to change all security, privacy, and parental control settings. *Multiple accounts* There's support for multiple NextDNS accounts and you can switch between them seamlessly. Multiple profiles are supported too: you can even create new profiles right from the app. A NextDNS+ purchase or subscription is required to use more than one account, the ability to do mutable actions (like changing settings or creating a profile), access the Live Log, remove limits, and more.

NextDNS Remote on iPhone Duo: FAQ

Is NextDNS Remote optimized for iPhone Duo?

Partly. NextDNS Remote is Adapted: it fills the larger inner display, but it does not do anything special with the fold. Verified on October 7, 2026 (Developer statement).
