You Can Now Use Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS on Mobile


Cloudflare has launched a mobile app for its 1.1.1.1 DNS service. This makes it easier for smartphone users (on Android and iOS) to use. Cloudflare’s DNS service, which is designed to improve privacy and performance, can also be used on your desktop.

What Is Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS Service?

In April 2018, Cloudflare launched its DNS service, catchily monikered 1.1.1.1. This is a DNS resolver that anyone can use for free. We previously detailed how to set it up on Windows and Mac, and explained how 1.1.1.1 solves some big privacy issues.

Using Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS service should help you keep your browsing habits private from your ISP and other interested parties. It should also help improve performance, allowing you to load websites faster than you can using your ISP’s default DNS server.

After a successful beta, Cloudflare has launched its 1.1.1.1 DNS service as a mobile app for Android and iOS. Cloudflare describes 1.1.1.1 as “the world’s fastest and safest DNS resolver” which is focused on a combination of privacy and performance.

Once you install 1.1.1.1 you can turn it on or off with just a few clicks. When it’s turned on your internet usage will be funnelled through a secure connection. This makes sure no one can snoop on your DNS queries, whether it’s your ISP or the government.
