This app and previously NewPipe is the main thing I miss after moving to iOS. I really can't stand ads (including organic ads that SponsorBlock deal with).

I’m using https://github.com/Tonwalter888/YouMod on my iPhone and I’m very satisfied. It has integrated adblock, sponsorblock, and despite being modded stock YouTube app it has tons of features, like completely removing shorts from the app, customizing the UI, and more.

Get https://github.com/yattee/yattee

I've been watching youtube without ads on all Apple hardware for years.

I use invidious as backend.

Absolutely fabulous.

i had a look at yattee, but it looks like there is only the possibility to sideload it to ios devices, which you would have to do every 7 days, or am I missing something? The repos is unfortunately very sparse with installation instructions

The installation instructions are here

https://yattee.stream/beta2

Super easy.

Although not a direct equivalent, but check out Unwatched [1].

Yep, it’s pretty much the reason I don’t use Youtube on my iPhone almost at all.

It’s probably a good thing, actually.

Connect to VPN in Albania and you will get ad free YouTube experience. You are welcome.

Why?

Google does not monetise Albania or something like that
