Sideload uYou plus with Altstore if you want to keep all the account functionality.
Download Yattee from the App store if you prefer to watch with Piped.
Comment on What the heck, YouTube?
Z4rK@lemmy.world 1 year agoI primarily use iOS to watch YouTube. I haven’t found good solutions.
It’s the media platform I use the most. With Premium, in evenly supporting at least 50 creators that I watch regularly. I couldn’t meaningfully do that for the same price through Patreon.

No I don’t want piped, like the recommendations in YouTube. No way I’ll side load.
Sounds like Premium is a good choice for me personally.

Sideload an alternative YouTube app with Altstore

It’s cool that the option exist, but it isn’t worth it to me.

I have had success from both Safari with AdGuard and from Brave browser blocking Youtube ads on iOS. Currently using Brave with no issues.
Z4rK@lemmy.world 1 year ago
OK so it’s that easy? I won’t use Brave, but will try from Safari and Orion. Thanks
BombOmOm@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yep. :)
Just pay attention to the instructions in the app. Safari doesn’t accept addons in the way other browsers do.

I guess the main downside for me having to be logged in to something Google while browsing other websites, and I don’t think I can be bothered logging in / out all the time

The best solution I’ve found for the YouTube shenanigans on iOS is the baking soda and vinegar apps.
