      I do think it’s funny that the one company that won’t let you solve a problem Google created, is Apple. Meanwhile Android has had sideloaded apps for ages.

      So, un-jailbroken iPhones can run uYouPlus, or similar apps through AltStore. You can sign into your account, view/post comments, see dislikes, auto-skip ads, intros, outros, etc., completely disable Shorts, and so many more things…

      The only problem is you have to re-sign the app by tethering it to a computer once every year (if you have an Apple Developer account) or every week for everyone else.

        yeah i know about that, i had it but removed it since sideloading with linux is a bit of a mess. i don’t know if you can disable shorts and community posts there though, i never checked

          Yep, you can. It removes both the tabs at the bottom as well as scrubbing them from the subscription feed.

        I’m using uYouPlus but I can’t find the option to disable shorts.

        Edit: Nvm I figured it out.

        It is under settings > general > uYou > home
