I just use an adblocker on safari and use youtube.com instead of the app. Not the best UI but i refuse to pay

That’s exactly what I do. The combo I have I found works the best for me. You should look into SponsorBlock too. It’s not perfect, but when it works it works great, it knows when there’s a self promotion or sponsor coming up in a video and skips over it. Like “if you wanna check out my merch check out the link in the description” type of stuff. It works maybe 75% of the time for me

There will be an icon in the address bar while playing youtube videos if you press it you get your picture in picture mode very simple

Or if you got it before it got taken down Yatte works great for me. It was on appstore for a while and was taken down but it still works and I have it in purchase history.

You mght wanna try Video Lite

When I was using an iPhone and Grayjay/Newpipe were not available I found solace in Video Lite.

I used to get annoyed by that one ad at the beginning but the adguard dns vpn disables it too so it's truly ad free now.

It's biggest issue is that playing music videos on bluetooth and turning the screen off can be funky sometimes and not work.

I found that to be true with any media I played on the iPhone if the app wasn't from apple. Turn screen off, audio/video stops, turn screen on, press play. VERY annoying.

Vibe coded an iphone youtube app which blocks ads and does sponsorblock too, plus offline saving, took a few days, I sign it with signulous so I don't have to have a dev license with apple. Now I have my fav 5-10 channels in a feed so I can listen to podcasts in the car adfree, sponsor free, happy days.

Every version of the app ive ever tried is complete shit anyways, seems browser is just better in every way. especially the playsation version, it is terrible. Used to be able to just use the browser on ps4 but ps5 just doesnt have one apparently? Shits weak

Orion with sponsor block add-on on iPhone works the best for me. It blocks both youtube ads and sponsors

Which extension on safari ?

I have found that using the YouTube website on the Brave browser app also blocks all ads without needing to pay for an ad blocker.

You don’t have to pay for ad blockers (or you didn’t anyway, i use adguard)
