POP UP BLOCKER WARNING ( this site is attempting to open a popup window )

Hi, i am using safari on the iPad. I have set block popups to off in the safari security settings. When I then try to access a popup screen I receive a message stating "this site is attempting to open a popup window". Is there a way to stop this message?


iPhone 12, iOS 15

That "make our user experience better" and the use of pop-ups are seemingly in conflict, then.


Modern website user experiences typically don't include pop-ups.


Apple states this:

... Block pop-up ads and windows in Safari - Apple Support


More generally on pop-ups, from some folks known for UI designs:

Safari on iPad does not allow customization of the pop-up blocking. (Safari on macOS does.)


On iPhone and iPad, your developer will want to employ newer approaches that avoid the pop-ups, or you will want to expect this message. (Some potential options)


You can certainly submit feedback to Apple, such as adding customization to the pop-up blocker:

... Product Feedback - Apple


I would expect better results avoiding the pop-up.

As a developer reporting, so there is no other way to make our users experience better, cause we do need to use pop up window from our web app, in other to do that we suggest to disable pop up blocker to our users however this warning message ( this site is attempting to open a popup window ) still showing up each time the user click on, would like to know if there is not a way to just make that pop up show up once and let the Safari recognized it for next time to not ask the user again? on (Iphone, Ipad).
