14. OLEDDarkmode: Replace official Youtube darkmode with a true OLED darkmode.

15. OLDDarkmode: Replace new official Youtube darkmode with old (grey) Youtube darkmode.

any many more...

Known issues

1. LowContrastMode: this tweak doesn't work everywhere with every ui element on the YouTube App.

2. YTUHD: Stuttering on 4K videos.

3. YouPiP (iOS 14.0 - 14.4.2): due to Apple's fault, you may encounter the speedup-bug as described here. 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 as a workaround (tested on iOS 14). Credit: RandomAccessMemories#5025
