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.
In the AppStore, search Vinegar. Works for me. 👍
Just FYI for anybody that looks it up, it appears to be a paid application.
Use the Yattee app and connect it to your preferred invidious or piped instance.
I use Signtunes with uYouPlusExtra (on GitHub). This does not require a computer, but will cost you 10-15$ yearly to sideload without a computer. But Apple will allow sideloading SoonTM, so it might become free.
uYouPlus is no longer being actively developed, uYouPlusExtra is a fork under active development.
There are a handful of options if you’re looking for a tweaked version of the YouTube app (no jailbreak needed) with enhanced options (blocking ads, skipping sponsored segments, allowing downloads, enabling PiP)
I personally use YouTube Reborn Plus https://github.com/arichorn/YouTubeRebornPlus
As for loading the IPA onto my iPhone I use Sideloadly. https://sideloadly.io
I know a lot of others use AltStore. https://altstore.io
Keep in mind, if you have a paid Apple Dev account like myself you only have to load the app on your device once a year. But, if you have a free account you’ll need to do this weekly. That being said, that is why so many users prefer AltStore, it automates the process to ensure you don’t hit that weekly threshold.
