# Features
1. **YTLite:** +50 customization options for YouTube, YTLite enhances your viewing experience by removing ads, enabling background playback, and providing control over navigation, overlay, player, tab bar, and Shorts settings.
2. **iSponsorBlock:** Skips annoying sponsor ads inside videos. iSponsorBlock is based on [SponsorBlock engine](https://sponsor.ajay.app/). Basically, this is the iOS version of the SponsorBlock extension.
3. **YouPiP:** enable YouTube's **native PiP**. More options are in YouTube Settings => General.
4. **YTUHD:** unlock VP9 codec and in effect, enables video quality of 2K and 4K. You can configure YTUHD in YouTube's Settings - Video quality preferences.
5. **YouTube Dislike Return:** brings back Dislike counts under YouTube videos using **ReturnYoutubeDislike**'s API.
<details>
<summary>and many more..</summary>
6. **YTABGoodies:** allow you to disable some YouTube A/B testing features. It is a combination of several tweaks, such as:
- YouAreThere: disable "Video paused. Continue watching?" popup in the YouTube app when you play a long video.
- YouRememberCaption: make YouTube remember your video caption setting (if not already).
- YTNoCheckLocalNetwork: block the Local Network permission popup.
7. **YTSpeed**: a toggleable tweak to add 2.25x, 2.5x, 2.75x, 3x, 3.25x, 3.5x, 3.75x, 4x & 5x playback speed options in the video player.
8. **YTMiniplayerEnabler**: enable Miniplayer for all YouTube videos.
9. **DontEatMyContent**: prevent the notch/Dynamic Island from munching on 2:1 video content in YouTube.
10. **YTABConfig**: allow user to control over YouTube A/B testing flags.
11. **YouMute**: Mute/unmute videos in the YouTube Video Player directly.
12. **YTNoCommunityPosts**: this can disable all the Community Posts on the YouTube app.
13. **LowContrastMode**: makes the YouTube Interface Low Contrast as possible to make it easier on the eyes.
14. **OLEDDarkmode**: Replace official Youtube darkmode with a true OLED darkmode.
15. **OLDDarkmode**: Replace new official Youtube darkmode with old (grey) Youtube darkmode.
</details>
# Known issues
1. **LowContrastMode**: this tweak doesn't work everywhere with every ui element on the YouTube App.
2. **YTUHD**: [Stuttering on 4K videos](https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus/issues/6).
3. **YouPiP** (iOS 14.0 - 14.4.2): due to Apple's fault, you may encounter the *speedup-bug* as described [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NKdv1fr_KRWgD8nhkMDfG2eLBnbdeVtX/view?usp=sharing). The bug also happens when you try to play multi-sources of sound at the same time. Enable **LegacyPiP** is a workaround. Keep in mind that LegacyPiP also removes UHD quality and breaks YouTube Autoplay next. Use it at your own risk!
4. **Not a bug**:
- The app won't be able to receive push notifications if you use a free developer account to sideload it.
- It's impossible to fix deep-link (a.k.a Open in the YouTube app). However, you can use this [Shortcuts](https://shortcutsgallery.com/shortcuts/open-in-youtube/) as a workaround (tested on iOS 14). **Credit:** RandomAccessMemories#5025
