    You can also download and install Newpipe

    You can then subscribe to your favorite channels through that app without subscription and view videos without ads and even download the video or audio to your phone!

        Google breaks Newpipe regularly, and then Newpipe always fixes it very fast. Sometimes I’ve been unable to use it for about two days or so. Totally worth it to not support Google.

        Check for updates within the app itself. Those are more current than the app stores.

      Thats a much higher hurdle for a noob tho. You either need to install fdroid or get the apk for that.

    I tried it but it doesn’t seem to work for me correctly or maybe I am doing something wrong. I patch the YouTube app and install it but as soon as I close and open it, all the changes made by the patch are apparently gone. Shorts that are hidden on the first start after the patch are visible again, ads seem to be reduced but still happen occasionally.

    I disabled the default YouTube app, gave the patched version a different name, disabled auto update, repatched it but nothing seems to stick after opening it again.

    And then the whole “I have to download the apk so that I can use it” because I don’t have rooted my phone is just inconvenient.

    I stick with my yt-dlp server and Plex instead.
