Yattee has recently dropped support for iOS 14, and was already extremely buggy to begin with. I currently use the uYou tweak on YouTube, but it isn't as private. Are there any native alternatives that don't involve a PWA?

I'm afraid a PWA might be the only way to go. uYou, Cercube, and Yattee are the only apps that aren't crammed full of ads, tracking and in-app purchases.

Yattee is the best app ever, it is a little buggy here an there but if configured right it can do the same things as newpipe or vanced on android

does it allow me to login and get my recommendations from yt, or is it without any login functionality?

[–] asperagus@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can import things from YouTube, but I don't use recommendations so I can't answer that

[–] Leafimo@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

I suspected that, so it's working similar to how newpipe works.

not really usable for me then sadly, damn

There are some invidious instances using "googlevideo" javascript to directly fetch the videos locally. So you dont use their bandwidth as much.

If thats enough for you maybe that, or maybe add a VPN to it.
