What alternate Youtube frontends are there? And which ones do you recommend? - eviltoast

I’ve heard of piped due to the piped-link bot, but I am curious about others.

    It’s more about the ability for such apps to exist. Other apps include Tachiyomi (manga reader) and similar apps that are not allowed because of the app stores terms of service.

    Hopefully Apple will soon be forced to allow such apps to exist outside of their store. Freedom to install what I want is a main reason I switched back from an iPhone to a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

        Thanks for the link. I’m surprised it survived Apple’s review process as I thought such apps weren’t allowed. Now I have a private YouTube altednative to recommend.

        Tachiyomi relies on installing sources as additional apks because otherwise they’d have to update the app daily. This is not allowed on Play/App Store.

        YouTube ReVanced and other patched apps are also great and not obviously not possible on iOS bexlcause of restrictions.
