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.

    There’s a lot of strange answers here.

    1. AdGuard extensions for Safari successfully block all YouTube ads, although in my experience you have to keep reloading the page.
    2. I also use uYouPlus, but you have to remember to connect it to your computer once a week, which blows.

      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.

          Also perfectly fine, I just prefer the features the uYouPlus app offers. It’s not only ad blocking, but also sponsor blocking, pop out player, background playback, reordering tabs (so I can remove the annoying shorts tab), and a bunch more.
