ASJ Tweaks on Telegram — new tweaks and update notes
One place: an ASJTube tab in YouTube's own bar. The settings, the library and everything else are behind it — no floating buttons, no gestures to learn.
Saving works from four places: the button in the row under the video, a long press on the player, the button on a Short, and YouTube's own Download row.
- Save any video or Short — every rung the video has, with the size before you commit
- My Library — a feed of what you saved, laid out like Home
- Playlists, Watch later and a storage bar
- Background playback and Picture in Picture for your own files
- Watch videos in high quality — pinned to the best rendition the video has
- Background Playback — audio keeps going when you leave the app or lock the screen
- Picture in Picture — starts on its own, no button to press
- Autoplay when a video finishes, and no suggested grid at the end
- Progress bar in Shorts
- Remove Ads — feed, search, Shorts and the player alike
- An ad is refused at the model, before a card is ever built, so there is no flash and no gap
- Non-skippable breaks are seeked past; skippable ones are skipped the moment the app allows it
- The Premium prompts, the upsell panels and the in-app surveys are all declined
- Lyrics for the song a video plays
- Clear Mode — the whole interface out of the way on a Short
- Copy and translate any text — a title, a description, a comment or one of its replies, from a long press or from the comment's own menu
- Hide Shorts, hide the create button, open the app on Shorts
- Require Face ID to open
- Open links in Safari instead of the in-app browser
79 languages — the panel follows YouTube's own language, so an Arabic install gets Arabic screens without setting anything. Right-to-left languages mirror with the text.
Add the source above, or download a package from Releases and install it with Sileo, Zebra or Cydia.
| Jailbreak | Package |
|---|---|
| Dopamine / palera1n (rootless) | ASJTube — iphoneos-arm64 |
| checkra1n / unc0ver and similar (rootful) | ASJTube — iphoneos-arm |
| roothide | ASJTube (roothide) |
Sileo, Zebra and Cydia pick the right architecture on their own; roothide is a separate entry.
Fully supported, with a build of its own that keeps YouTube's own entitlements and its app extensions intact.
ahmadrashed.com/trollstore/tube — iOS 14.0–16.6.1, and 17.0 on some devices.
One link: on an iPhone with TrollStore it hands the file straight over, anywhere else it just downloads.
Add https://source.ahmadrashed.com in ESign, Feather or KSign and install it from there — that source also has the full build, with YouTube's own extensions. In AltStore or SideStore, add https://altstore.ahmadrashed.com.
Or download the IPA from Releases and sign it with Sideloadly or ESign — the one with the newest YouTube needs iOS 17 or newer, _21.33.6 is for iOS 16 — or take the dylib and inject it into your own copy of YouTube.
The dylib is self-contained and does not need Cydia Substrate, so any injector works. YouTube itself is not distributed here — bring your own copy.
- Works with the current YouTube and with older versions
- arm64 and arm64e
- The screens in the pictures are from a real install
