Are there any safe, functional apps for iOS mobile devices (specifically iPhone, but iPad would be nice too) that let you use Youtube without ads? Something like what Youtube Revanced is for Android.
Pay for premium in Argentina, set a VPN to verify, checks out for me. Family plan is so effing cheap.
How? I want to do this but Google never allows me, something always breaks in the payment process
I can share with you a method to buy for Turkey.
- Make an account on the „FUPS” app. You will need a Turkish SIM to verify - 5sim.net is a very cheap option
- Buy a FUPS card from some online reseller. I’ve used this https://plati.io/itm/fups-card-turkish-card-for-psn-xbox-spotify/3565417
- Scan the card’s QR code in the FUPS app. You now can use the card to spend money from your FUPS account
- Use Revolut to convert money to Turkish liras, and use the „Card recipient” transfer option to add money to that account with basically 0 fees.
Now to buy a family subscription, I personally used an android virtual machine, on which, while connected to a Turkish VPN, I made a new account on a random Turkish address. Then just bought the sub in the YouTube app.
Afterwards, you can invite others to your family. But, they won’t be able to just join, they need to go to pay.google.com -> Settings -> Close payments profile
Then they need to add a CC to their account (doesn’t have to be Turkish), but make sure that they put a random Turkish billing address to that card. Wait ~10 minutes, and they can join the family, and after they’re in, they can re-do the google pay stuff to get it back to normal. Won’t kick them out.
Okay, FUPS might not work anymore. Check this page for other methods (I do realize the sub name sounds shady) https://old.reddit.com/r/make_money_online_vip/comments/14f6eim/how_to_get_turkish_vcc_detailed_guide_cheap/?rdt=38250
Does doing this fuck with your recommendations? Or open your account to being banned if you don’t continue accessing it from the subscribed country?
Brave browser. It has an ad blocker built in.
iOS doesn’t give many options to remove ads from YouTube videos. You can’t really circumvent the native YT app (at least in my experience). What’s worked for me for the past few years is:
- watching Youtube in Safari
- purchasing the Wipr and Vinegar extensions from the App store
I have not seen a single ad on iOS on YouTube this way. I’m pretty sure Vinegar is doing the heavy lifting specifically on YouTube but Wipr picks up the slack on every other website.
In the AppStore, search Vinegar. Works for me. 👍
Just FYI for anybody that looks it up, it appears to be a paid application.
Firefox Focus appears to let me play youtube without ads, but I’m unclear if it’s because I also have the Vinegar extension (which shouldn’t matter, since the extension itself says it only works in Safari.)
