Android users have the preferential advantage of using off-the-record modded apps to amplify the user experience. That’s because it’s so easy to install and approve modded APKs by various developers. A prominent example is an alternative YouTube MOD app named YouTube Vanced. With it, you can get rid of ads on YouTube videos, multitask while watching videos or listening to music, thanks to YouTube Vanced’s picture-in-picture feature, and download YouTube videos in HD quality with many more features. But can you do the same thing and use YouTube Vanced iOS on iPhone or iPad? Let’s delve into this talking point!
What is YouTube Vanced?
YouTube Vanced is the modded version of YouTube, highly popular in the Android community. It adds several aspects you will not find in the official YouTube app from Google. It includes adblocking, background playback, and many more traits to make your YouTube experience easy and contented. But it’s popular among Android users mainly because Vanced official creators still have not developed YouTube Vanced iOS. Fortunately, there are several ways to get the same experience as Android YouTube Vanced on iOS.
YouTube Vanced Features
YouTube Vanced is an excellent alternative to the official YouTube app, with some unique features available only for YouTube Premium users. Here are some key features of YouTube Vanced:-
Auto-Ad Blocking : With YouTube Vanced, you will get rid of ads forever. So you can watch millions of videos without any interruption.
Background Playback : The second most convenient aspect of this app is, listening to any video in the background without any ads or interference.
Picture-in-picture (PiP): Picture-in-Picture feature on YouTube Vanced allows you to watch videos in a floating window so that you can keep an eye on two things simultaneously.
Download videos on your storage: Download any HD-quality video from YouTube and save them on your storage so you can give them a watch later. You can also turn your videos into audio files.
Disable Age Restrictions: You can watch age-restricted videos on YouTube Vanced without logging in.
Alternatives of YouTube Vanced for iPhone and iPad users
YouTube Vanced is the YouTube Premium app with a few handy features like ad blocking, PiP mode, and background playback are some of the notable attributes. However, as there is no official YouTube Vanced iOS for iPhone and iPad users, we can find some alternatives to do the same things for iOS. Here are a few replacements:
YouTube++
With YouTube++ iOS, you can have premium and unlocked features for YouTube. It is far better than the stock YouTube app. You can download videos, play videos in the background, use PiP mode, block all ads, etc. But you can not install the downloaded IPA file directly to your iPhone or iPad. You have to download TutuApp to install YouTube++ without jailbreak.
Some of the features :-
- Download videos in the highest resolution (4k)
- Block all ads
- Play videos in the background and PiP mode as well
- Convert audio from any video
How to Install YouTube++ without any PC:
- First, download TutuApp iOS on your iPhone or iPad
- Install the TutuApp iOS and launch TutuApp
- Go to the search bar on the app and search “YouTube++”
- You will see the YouTube++ app on the search result, tap on it and Install it
- After a successful installation, go to device Settings → General → Device Management → Trust the profile of recently installed app → Done!
- Now you can enjoy the aspects of YouTube++ and enjoy ads free YouTube videos with features like playing videos as mp3s, not-restricted YouTube and YouTube Red, etc.
Cercube
Similar to YouTube++, Cercube is also a YouTube Vanced for iOS with a similar installation process. If you want to install Cercube without a PC, the only option is to use third-party app stores. You can also find Cercube on TutuApp.
Download and install the TutuApp and search for Cercube on the search bar. You will find Cercube at the top. Simply tap on it and install it. Now you can enjoy ad-free YouTube videos with features like PiP, background playback, video-to-audio converter, auto-replay videos, save your downloads to the camera roll, etc.
uYou:
With the uYou app, you can enjoy video and audio downloads with importing features, play videos in PiP (Picture In Picture), background audio playback, and a whole lot of other features that are usually restricted/not available on the YouTube app. It removes YouTube Ads, downloads Videos/Audio/Shorts for offline playback (supports up to 4K) and many more features. It is probably the closest featured app as YouTube Vanced for iOS.
However, you need to download Troll Store (recommended) or other iOS apps like AltStore, and Sideloadly to install IPAs permanently with arbitrary entitlements and root helpers.
YouTube Vanced for iOS (Unofficial)
YouTube Vanced iOS is similar to the application of YouTube Vanced for Android, with some handy improvements. But it’s not released by the official Vanced team. One of the most special features is, blocking ads with a dark mode. Unfortunately, this app is unavailable on Appstore, so you must download it from the browser.
First, you must ensure that the “Auto-update apps” setting is turned on, on your iPhone or iPad. Now you can download and install YouTube Vanced without any Appstore restriction.
How to install YouTube Vanced iOS:
- Open Safari browser and visit here
- Then search “Vanced YouTube” on the search bar and click on the “Start installation” button
- Wait for a few minutes for the app to download
- After a successful download, the app will install on your device automatically.
Then you can enjoy ads-free YouTube videos with many more Vanced-like features on your iPhone or iPad. We recommend you use a dummy Google account or create a new one for using YouTube Vanced.
AdGuard:
If you want a simple way to get rid of ads just like YouTube Vanced, download AdGuard from Appstore. Then open the Safari browser and watch YouTube videos without any ads.
Musi:
Musi is a free music streaming app for iOS that pulls videos directly from YouTube, offering users a vast collection of songs and unofficial remixes, mash-ups, and many more music videos.
Conclusion
We know that if we use the free version of the YouTube app, we will have to deal with advertisements, which can be both bothersome and annoying sometimes. Now that you know how to install the same featured apps like YouTube Vanced on iOS, even though there’s no official release from the YouTube Vanced team, you can still enjoy the tweaks on your iPhone or iPad. You can enjoy YouTube videos without any ads, listen to YouTube videos running in the background, play videos using Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, and download YouTube videos up to 4k quality using these applications.
These apps are fantastic alternatives to the official YouTube app, without a doubt. However, always be aware of third-party modded apps on your devices because none of them are officially YouTube Vanced. So you can also consider buying a cheap Android device to enjoy YouTube Vanced at it’s full potential.
Have fun!
