Manage ads in Apple Ads Manager

Apple Ads Manager has a two-way integration with Apple Ads: you get near real-time performance data, and you can create and edit ads directly from the Adapty dashboard in a much more convenient way than in the native UI.

If you create an ad in the native Apple Ads dashboard, it will automatically appear in Apple Ads Manager within 24 hours.

What are ads

An ad is an ad creative assigned to an ad group inside a campaign. You can assign one active ad per ad group.

Create ads

Before you start, ensure you have created:

If you already have an active ad inside the selected ad group, it will be paused to run the new ad.

To create a new Apple Ads ad:

  1. Go to Ads Manager from the sidebar menu. On any tab, click + above the table and select Create ad.

  2. Select an ad group for the ad.

  1. Click Create ad.

Edit ads

After you have created an ad, you can edit only its name. You can’t change its CPP or move it to a different ad group.

To edit an ad name, use any of the following options:

  • Click the ad name in Ads Manager > Ads. Edit the ad name and click the check mark next to it.

Edits to an ad made directly in Apple Ads sync automatically to Apple Ads Manager, but may take time to show in Apple Ads Manager.

To launch or pause any ad from Apple Ads Manager, use any of the following options:

  • Select or clear the checkbox in the Status column in Ads Manager > Ads.
