There is a lot to explore in this release of Brave on iOS.

Existing Rewards users who have accumulated BAT can withdraw their BAT using the QR code functionality on the Desktop version of Brave. Please upgrade to the latest version of Brave on Desktop and iOS (1.22) to enable this functionality.
Going forward, Brave Rewards users will no longer be rewarded for viewing (opt-in) Brave Ads. Instead Brave will contribute to the verified (websites) publishers as you browse the web. Please check out our Blog for more info around these changes.
Finally, you can now make Brave your default web browser. To do this:
- Launch the iOS Settings app,
- Scroll down and select Brave,
