The iOS platform sports a gorgeous native video player interface, but as you might come to expect from Apple, those good looks aren’t coupled with the oodles of functionality that you might find on other platforms such as swipe gesture-based controls.
In response to this apparent shortcoming, iOS developer AnthoPak has just released a new free jailbreak tweak in Cydia called VideoSwipes, and just as the name implies, this tweak brings swipe gesture-based controls to iOS’ native video player.
Apple has quietly launched a new YouTube channel dedicated to its new Apple TV service. First spotted by MacStories, the channel offers a mix of trailers for upcoming movies and TV shows, celebrity interviews, behind the-scenes-footage and more.
Following Hulu, Directv NOW and other streaming services, YouTube TV announced today that it will be increasing its price to $50 per month, and $55 per month for customers billed through Apple. That's a significant hike, considering the original YouTube TV plan cost just $35 per month.
The official YouTube app incorporates a native dark mode that can help ease the stress on your eyes when using the app in a dark environment, and while it’s great, it’s also far from customizable. With that shortcoming in mind, iOS developer Revulate has just released a new free jailbreak tweak called GrooveTube.
After installing GrooveTube, you can manually configure the color scheme of the YouTube app’s dark mode to your liking. In the before and after screenshot examples above, you’ll observe how we’ve re-colored the YouTube app background to be darker and altered the tab bar tint color to be red.
Your iPad supports Picture in Picture (PiP) videos in apps and webpages, but this handy mode isn't universally supported across all video-streaming websites. Crucially, PiP is unsupported by YouTube.com's iPad interface on Safari. But there's a shortcut for that, too—thanks to the power of iOS automation, you can enforce Picture in Picture on YouTube and other websites.
Are you annoyed by videos auto-playing in the YouTube Home tab? In this brief tutorial, we’ll show you how to turn off playback in feeds in the YouTube app and website.
The official YouTube app is a must-have for many iPhone owners, whether they’re jailbroken or not. But if you do happen to be jailbroken, then you just might enjoy the freedom of customizing the YouTube app experience beyond what’s possible on a stock device.
A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed YTMiniBarX by iOS developer Wh0ba serves as a great example of this. As depicted in the screenshot examples above, this tweak applies a rounded corner mask to the YouTube mini bar to make it more aesthetically enjoyable.
Apple designed iOS’ Now Playing interface to display relevant information about the music you listen to at any given time, such as the album artwork, artist name, and song title, but it also provides you with useful music controls in a pinch.
But one place where the Now Playing interface falls short is in summarizing what you can expect next in your music playlist, and that’s where a new jailbreak tweak called NextUp by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson comes into play.
Google has discounted its YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium subscription plans for full-time college students in the United States.
Transferring playlists between multiple music services is easy until you attempt to do it manually. Instead of having to painstakingly recreate your personal, carefully curated Apple Music playlists on another music-streaming service like Spotify or YouTube, or vice versa, you can just use an app to get the job done.
Technology YouTuber Marques Brownlee aka MKBHD has published his thorough review of iPhone XR and if you appreciate his work and honest reviews, you should give it a quick watch.
