YouTube++ – Watch Without Limits on iOS
YouTube++ is a modified build of the original YouTube app, designed to give users more control over playback, audio behavior, and downloads. The interface looks and feels the same, but certain restrictions have been removed.
Ad-Free Playback
Video ads are skipped automatically. Pre-roll and mid-roll interruptions are not loaded, so videos start and finish without delays or breaks. This includes regular uploads, live streams, and playlists.
Background Audio
YouTube++ continues playing when the app is minimized or the screen is locked. This allows users to treat long-form content, podcasts, or music as audio streams. Playback can be controlled through the lock screen or Control Center.
Video Download Support
A download option is added to the player interface. Users can choose from different resolutions and formats, and save content directly to their device. Both full videos and audio-only versions are supported.
Playback Options
Additional settings are included to adjust default resolution, speed, and interface elements. Users can hide the comment section, suggested videos, or playback overlays. These changes are optional and can be toggled in the menu.
No Premium Required
All added features are available immediately. There is no login requirement, and YouTube Premium is not needed. The app functions independently of the App Store version and can be installed alongside it.
Device Compatibility
- iOS 15 to iOS 18
- iPhone and iPad
- No jailbreak required
- Install via TopStore or IPA sideload tools
Use Cases
YouTube++ is often used to download videos for travel, remove ad interruptions during study or work, or keep audio playing while using other apps. It is also useful when mobile data is limited and offline access is preferred.
The core YouTube experience remains intact. Subscriptions, search, recommendations, and playlists all function normally. What changes is the level of control.
