UGH Anyone know how to stop ads on Youtube Iphone? I listen in the car and trying to hit "Skip ads"

is making it dangerous to drive and also pissing me off.

I tried Google and then some app but I couldn't get it to work.

Also, if I went to the Apple store would they be able to do it?

Thanks.

IMO, the best blocker for desktops is uBlock origin.

I looked for the closest to it on iOS, and Purify seems to be it.

I don't use youtube, or videos much, so YMMV.

$1.99, no subscription required.
