YouTube ReVanced for iOS
Short answer: there is no official YouTube ReVanced for iOS. ReVanced is built only for Android. Any website offering a "ReVanced iOS download", a "ReVanced IPA" or a configuration profile is not from the ReVanced team. The good news is that iPhone and iPad users have real alternatives with almost the same features: ad blocking, SponsorBlock, background play and video downloads.
This guide explains why ReVanced doesn't work on iPhone, which fake offers to avoid and which iOS options actually work.
Why is there no ReVanced for iPhone?
ReVanced works by patching the YouTube APK, the Android app file, right on your phone.
iOS doesn't allow this, for three reasons:
Code signing: every iOS app must be signed with an Apple certificate. A patched app needs a new signature, which Apple controls.
App sandboxing: iOS apps can't modify other apps, so a "Manager" app like ReVanced Manager can't exist on iPhone.
No APK equivalent: iOS apps are IPA files that are encrypted on the App Store. They must be decrypted before anyone can modify them.
The ReVanced team has never released an iOS version. ReVanced is only available for Android.
Warning: fake "ReVanced iOS" sites
Searching "ReVanced iOS download" brings up many lookalike sites. Most of them do one of the following:
Ask you to install a configuration profile, which can give a stranger control over your device's settings or traffic.
Send you through "human verification" or survey pages that only earn money for the site.
Repackage a different tweak (usually uYou+) under the ReVanced name.
Never install a profile or app from a site that claims to be "official ReVanced for iOS".
Real YouTube ReVanced alternatives for iOS
The iOS community builds tweaks: add-ons injected into the YouTube IPA. These are the closest thing to ReVanced on an iPhone.
Our pick: uYouEnhanced is the most actively updated, feature-complete ReVanced-style option for iPhone in 2026. Its feature list is the closest to what Android users get from ReVanced or Morphe.
Real iPhone alternatives
| Option | Features | Install |
|---|---|---|
| uYouEnhanced | Ad-free playback, downloads, PiP, background play and iSponsorBlock | Sideload the IPA from its official GitHub release |
| YTLite / YTLitePlus | Lightweight ad blocking, background play and interface cleanup | Sideload the IPA |
| YouTube Premium | Official ad-free viewing, background play and downloads | App Store subscription |
| Safari with an ad-blocking extension | Removes many ads on youtube.com | App Store extension |
How to install a YouTube tweak on iPhone (sideloading)
You can't get these apps from the App Store, so you need to sideload them. Here is the general process:
1. Choose a sideloading tool. Common options are AltStore, Sideloadly (from a Windows PC or Mac) and TrollStore (only on specific older iOS versions).
2. Get the tweaked IPA from the developer's official GitHub releases page. uYouEnhanced also offers an AltStore source that installs it directly.
3. Sign in with an Apple ID in your sideloading tool. A spare Apple ID is a good idea.
4. Install the IPA to your iPhone through the tool.
5. Trust the developer profile. Go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management and trust your Apple ID.
6. Enable Developer Mode if iOS asks (Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode).
7. Refresh the app every 7 days. Apps signed with a free Apple ID expire after 7 days. AltStore can refresh them automatically over Wi-Fi.
ReVanced (Android) vs. iOS tweaks
ReVanced and Morphe patch Android apps on the device. iOS alternatives use a pre-built IPA that must be sideloaded and re-signed regularly with a free Apple ID.
Is it safe and legal?
The open-source tweaks on GitHub are generally considered safe when you download them from the developer's own page. The risks come from fake sites and from using your main Apple ID with unknown signing services. Modifying the YouTube app may also violate YouTube's terms of service, and Apple can revoke signing certificates at any time.
Final word
YouTube ReVanced for iOS doesn't exist, and sites that say otherwise are risky. If you want a ReVanced-like experience on iPhone, sideload uYouEnhanced from its official GitHub. If you don't want to sideload, YouTube Premium is the only fully official option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is YouTube ReVanced available for iOS?
No. ReVanced is Android-only. Any "ReVanced iOS" download is unofficial.
What is the best ReVanced alternative for iPhone?
uYouEnhanced is the most complete and actively updated option in 2026. YTLite is a lighter choice.
Can I use ReVanced on iPhone without a computer?
There's no ReVanced for iPhone. For iOS tweaks, AltStore needs a computer for first setup. Some signing services work without one, but they're riskier.
Do I need to jailbreak my iPhone?

Why does my tweaked YouTube app stop opening after 7 days?
Apps signed with a free Apple ID expire after 7 days. Refresh them with AltStore or reinstall with Sideloadly.
