        someone in a group I know asked the same a few weeks ago and the general reply was “No”

        iOS ain’t friendly to any kind of 3rd party app

        It’s always been super spotty for me. Sometimes it doesn’t work for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. It usually ends up working again after a bit. I ended up moving to mostly using yt-dlp instead, as it’s more consistent. I don’t know of a more reliable phone-option tho :(

      I want them to synchronize my watch history so that each one doesn’t keep listing the videos I already watched in the other.

        The whole point of these apps is that they are local, independent from algorithms and YT’s surveillance. If you want to synchronize something, you’ll have to do it manually.

        Revanced has a patched yt music app. No ads, background play, and I use the super mix playlist a lot.

        Fo those that prefer Spotify, check out spotube. Available for phone and Google TV.
