YouTubeRebornPlus for iOS: Elevating Your YouTube Experience on iPhone and iPad
In the world of iOS tweaks, YouTubeRebornPlus is a standout enhancement for the YouTube app on iPhone and iPad. This powerful tweak unlocks premium-level features normally reserved for YouTube Premium users — but without paying a monthly fee. With ad blocking, background playback, high-resolution support, and deep customization, YouTubeRebornPlus offers a more flexible and enjoyable YouTube experience.
What Is YouTubeRebornPlus?
YouTubeRebornPlus is a modification built on top of the YouTube Reborn framework, designed specifically for iOS and iPadOS. It injects a broad set of enhancements into the native YouTube app, giving users control and functionality far beyond what the standard version allows.
This tweak supports modern iOS versions (starting from iOS 15 and up) and is actively maintained, meaning it receives frequent updates, bug fixes, and compatibility improvements. It relies on version spoofing to work with different YouTube app versions, ensuring the tweak remains usable even as YouTube evolves.
Core Features That Define YouTubeRebornPlus
Ad Blocking & Sponsor Segment Skipping
All video ads within YouTube are blocked, giving you a clean viewing experience.
It integrates a system for skipping sponsored parts of videos, using a recognized “sponsor-segment” engine, so you no longer have to sit through paid promotions in creators’ content.
Background Playback
Videos (or just the audio) continue to play when the YouTube app is moved to the background.
This makes YouTubeRebornPlus ideal for music, podcasts, or lectures when you don’t need the screen open.
Quality Control & High-Res Support
You can set your preferred video quality separately for Wi-Fi and cellular data.
The tweak unlocks advanced video codecs (such as VP9), enabling resolutions like 2K and 4K — something the standard app may restrict.
Picture-in-Picture (PiP)
Native iOS Picture-in-Picture is enabled, so you can watch YouTube in a floating window while using other apps.
There is also a fallback “legacy” PiP mode for compatibility or performance reasons on certain devices or OS versions.
Offline Downloads
The tweak provides the functionality to download videos in high resolution.
You can also download audio-only versions of content, perfect for listening later without needing the video.
User Interface Customization
There are multiple theme options: light, dark, or custom colors.
You can hide or change interface elements like rounded buttons, progress bars, or specific UI overlays.
A “low contrast mode” helps reduce visual clutter by dimming icons and labels.
Mute Toggle Feature (YouMute)
A built-in mute/unmute control in the video player lets you quickly silence or restore sound — without adjusting your device’s volume.
iPad-Style Layout on iPhone
Even on iPhones, you can apply an iPad-style interface for a more spacious and comfortable design, especially when watching or navigating.
Restored Dislike Count
The tweak brings back the dislike count under videos by using an external dislike-count API, letting you view social feedback that YouTube removed.
Modern UI Removal
There’s an option to disable or simplify newer YouTube UI elements, such as rounded progress bars, to give a cleaner, more classic look.
Cache Management
YouTubeRebornPlus includes a “clear cache” control that helps you free up storage and keep the app responsive by removing stored data.
Version & Compatibility
The current versions of YouTubeRebornPlus are compatible with iOS/iPadOS 15.0 and later.
It’s built using a modern iOS SDK, which helps maintain stability and performance.
Thanks to its version-spoofing mechanism, it can imitate various YouTube app versions. This allows it to stay compatible even when YouTube itself updates.
The project is actively maintained, with frequent bug fixes and improvements to its internal modules.
Why Choose YouTubeRebornPlus?
Premium Features Without Paying: You enjoy many of the benefits of YouTube Premium — ad-free viewing, background play, offline downloads — without a paid subscription.
Highly Customizable: Unlike the standard app, You can tweak nearly every part of the interface and playback behavior to suit your preferences.
Open-Source & Community Driven: The tweak is open-source and well supported, so improvements, bug fixes, and new features are continuously added.
Better Viewing Experience: For users who consume a lot of YouTube content, the ability to skip sponsors, choose quality, and use PiP or background playback improves usability significantly.
Potential Trade-Offs
Because it modifies the official YouTube app, YouTubeRebornPlus depends on maintaining compatibility with specific YouTube versions. When YouTube updates, the tweak may need adjustments.
Some advanced features, like background playback or side-loaded installs, might require non-standard installation methods.
Push notifications may not work if you sideload the app under certain conditions.
Deep-linking (opening YouTube links directly in the app) could be limited or broken in some cases.
Who Will Benefit Most?
Frequent YouTube Viewers: If you spend many hours watching videos, lectures, music, or podcasts, the background playback and download features are game changers.
Data-Conscious Users: Setting different default video quality for cellular versus Wi-Fi lets you save data while still enjoying high-quality playback where possible.
Offline Travelers: Being able to download and store videos or audio makes offline viewing or listening easy during travel or in low-connectivity areas.
Power Users & Tweakers: For users who like to control every aspect of their apps, the customization options on UI, themes, and layout give real power and flexibility.
