Yes, you can use proxies on iPhone. For normal browsing, Safari or Brave is fine. You only really need an antidetect browser if you're managing multiple accounts and need separate fingerprints

brave is fine as a browser but it doesnt do what antidetect browsers do, no separate profiles, no fingerprint control. one or two accounts, normal browser plus a decent proxy is enough. multiple accounts, you need an antidetect one. gologin is what i use, the others are similar, the browser matters less than the proxy and how you use the account

Hey, I work with proxies every day, so here’s the simple version.
Yes, you can. The easiest way is built in: Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the (i) next to your network > Configure Proxy > Manual, then enter the server, port and username/password from your provider. Two catches though: it only works on that Wi-Fi network, not on mobile data, and it only supports HTTP proxies, not SOCKS5.
If you want it working everywhere, including mobile data and SOCKS5, use an app like Shadowrocket. It sends all your phone’s traffic through the proxy, not just the browser. That’s what most people end up using.
About the browser: Brave is a privacy browser, not an antidetect browser. Antidetect browsers like AdsPower or Multilogin are desktop tools for running lots of separate profiles, so if you’re just browsing or using one account you don’t need one. Also, on iPhone pretty much every browser runs on Safari’s engine under the hood, so switching browsers won’t change much.
Whatever you go with, check your IP after connecting. Use any “what is my IP” site plus a leak test to make sure it shows the proxy and not your real IP. And get proxies with user/pass login and decent residential or mobile IPs. Free proxies are slow and usually already burned.
