I need to update it.
Again.
It’s broken.
Again.

I’ve literally been watching YT on my mobile browser instead because it’s a PITA to update.

Strange, months-old versions work fine for me, and the update is not too difficult either. On an ARM64 device, you open RVX Manager, check for the recommended YouTube version, download it from APKMirror, optionally check its hash, pick it in RVX Manager, and patch it (takes 2-5 minutes). You can also press the 💾 icon to save the trusted APK you made so you can share it to other devices, including ARMv7 ones.

Yeah, there’s a option to hide shorts in the feed as well as to hide the shorts button from the bottom bar. Can’t even remember the last time I saw any shorts lol

I do think it’s funny that the one company that won’t let you solve a problem Google created, is Apple. Meanwhile Android has had sideloaded apps for ages.

So, un-jailbroken iPhones can run uYouPlus, or similar apps through AltStore. You can sign into your account, view/post comments, see dislikes, auto-skip ads, intros, outros, etc., completely disable Shorts, and so many more things…

The only problem is you have to re-sign the app by tethering it to a computer once every year (if you have an Apple Developer account) or every week for everyone else.

I’m using uYouPlus but I can’t find the option to disable shorts.

Edit: Nvm I figured it out.

It is under settings > general > uYou > home

Ehh not really. I can’t even read comment replies, and as far as I know, you can’t make any comments yourself. Syncing your subscriptions is a giant mess. Tho I still use it for downloading purposes, best option for that on mobile imo.

Get Grayjay. It has all of that, plus you can log into your youtube account with it.

Huh, I never use any of those features anyway so I guess I never thought about it.

I don’t really comment or read comments and never bothered syncing my subscriptions. I just went through my YouTube subs list and added them on new pipe, took like 3 ish minutes.

Maybe if you compare it to LibreTube or NewPipe, but it must be slimmer than the normal app.
