About the future of the uYouEnhanced Project (Updated, June 13, 2025)

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give you an update about uYouEnhanced. I’m not 100% leaving or anything, but I won’t be maintaining this tweak much like before. I’ll still drop some github commits now and then to try and improve uYouEnhanced, but there’s just no way I can ever get through and solve the 300+ known existing issues in this github repository.

I do my best to fix stuff when some issues pop up, but it sometimes usually doesn’t work out. I do even suggest workarounds, but they might not work perfectly or might mot even work, especially with the latest YouTube version changes.

But as of writing this, I’d recommend using uYouEnhanced with YouTube version v20.05.4 (the ipa version I actually am still using personally). Thanks for understanding!

And thanks to the developers qnblackcat, PoomSmart & other allowing me to expand this fork from where it is today!

Note

uYouEnhanced is a modified version of uYou. Please DO NOT bother MiRO92 with issues unrelated to uYou!

18. YTAppVersionSpoofer: This tweak allows users to spoof the version of the YouTube app they are using, this is designed to spoof to older YouTube App versions. This can be useful for bypassing certain version checks or retaining features that may have been removed/disabled in newer updates. <-- uYouEnhanced Exclusive Feature (subject to change)

19. LowContrastMode (17.33.2-18.34.5 OUTDATED): LowContrastMode is a tweak that allows users to darken the text in the YouTube app, making it easier to read. which sadly suffers from incompatibility issues and doesn't work right now as of March 19th 2025. <-- uYouEnhanced Exclusive Feature (subject to change)
