Features

  • Toggle YouTube's built-in dark mode with iOS 13's dark mode, DarkModeToggle, or Noctis12 (in that order)
  • Respects iOS 13's dark mode if you're on iOS 13. If not, it respects DarkModeToggle. If DarkModeToggle is not installed, it respects Noctis12
  • Compatible with CercubeDarkMode
  • Note - YouTube recently pushed a server-side update that added support for toggling its built-in dark mode with iOS 13. However, this tweak is still fully functional if you want support for DarkModeToggle/Noctis/iOS 12/older versions of YouTube

Woa that's nice. Can you do the same thing for messenger? It also have a dark mode toggle but it doesn't do it with iOS 13

This should just be part of Youtube, it's a shame it has to be a jailbreak tweak

Hi, I have an issue where opening another app then coming back to YouTube will cause the text to change to a color that’s almost unreadable. Are you still updating this tweak?

1
CaptInc37OPDeveloper•

Yeah I know of that bug and I will fix it eventually. I’ve just been super busy the last two weeks. Hopefully in the next few days I can do it?
