Features

  1. uYou: uYou has a ton of features that I can't list them all. Visit his here for more info!

  2. iSponsorBlock: Skips annoying sponsor ads inside videos. iSponsorBlock is based on SponsorBlock engine. This is the iOS version of the SponsorBlock extension.

  3. YouRememberCaption: make YouTube remember your video caption setting (if not already).

  4. YTClassicVideoQuality: since YouTube v16.xx, you need one more step to change the video quality. YTClassicVideoQuality brings back the old video quality selector, which is a lot better than the new one.

  5. YTNoCheckLocalNetwork: block the Local Network permission popup.

  6. YTNoHoverCards: offer an option to enable/disable the annoying suggested videos show up at the end of the videos.

  7. YTSystemAppearance: sync the YouTube theme (dark/light) with the system theme.

  8. YTUHD: unlock VP9 codec and in effect, enables video quality of 2K and 4K. You can enable/disable YTUHD in YouTube Settings => Video quality preferences.

  9. YouPiP: enable YouTube's native PiP. More options are in YouTube Settings => General.

Known issues

  1. uYou: all known-issues of uYou are listed here. Make sure you take a look at it before reporting any bugs! Also, keep in mind that uYou+ is a modified version of uYou, DO NOT bother MiRO92 with problems unrelated to uYou!!!

  2. iSponsorBlock: the modified time doesn't show up in the seek bar.

  3. YTUHD: Stuttering on 4K videos (sometimes).

  4. YouPiP (iOS 14.0 - 14.4.2): due to Apple's fault, you may encounter the speedup-bug as described here. The bug also happens when you try to play multi-sources of sound at the same time. Enable Legacy PiP is a workaround. Note that Legacy PiP removes UHD quality and breaks the default video quality feature of uYou. Use it at your own risk.

  5. Not a bug:

  • The app won't be able to receive push notifications if you use a free developer account to sideload it.

  • appdb PRO users: follow this guide to fix uYou download not working.

  • It's impossible to fix deep-link (a.k.a Open in the YouTube app). However, you can use this Shortcuts as a workaround (tested on iOS 14). Credit: RandomAccessMemories#5025

FAQ

  1. Why can't I see 2K/4K quality?

Make sure you enable YTUHD in YouTube Settings => Video quality preferences

  1. Why does it take so long to active PiP?

Have you enabled native YouTube PiP in YouTube Settings => General? This is where YouPiP shines!

  1. PiP stop playing when I turn off the screen?

iOS behave. Sorry! Feel free to submit a feedback to Apple ;))

  1. I don't like automative PiP!

Enable Use PiP button in YouTube Settings => General

  1. What is Legacy PiP? Should I enable it?

No. I wouldn't suggest you enable Legacy PiP. It is a workaround for the speed up bug that happens on iOS 14.0 - 14.3. I mentioned about Legacy PiP in Known issues

  1. What is the difference between uYou normal download and uYou Local download?

MiRO explained it here (Reddit)

  1. Slow download speed?

Well, YouTube slows down the download speed for some reasons. Nothing we can do about it.

  1. uYou download is not working! (Error 200)

For appdb users: see Known issues. For other signing services (ex: Esign...): there is no way to fix it, unfortunately.
