iOS/iPadOS Compatibility Warning for v16.42.3

running this on iOS/iPadOS 16.0 or newer is not recommended.
You’ll encounter:
UI/Layout glitches: I’m on iPadOS 17 and this has a ton of problems even even when some of the app animations don’t work anymore and including the layout not being sized correctly on the UI when using Stage Manager, so it’s recommended to use the latest release instead of this LTS release of 16.42.3 uYouPlusExtra.

uYouPlusExtra Features

uYouPlus but adds Additional Features that should’ve been added to the original uYouPlus which were probably denied.

LowContrastMode: This tweak helps remove the new contrasty looking UI that was first introducted way back in 2020 August/September.

LowContrastModeColors: This tweak is an add-on of LowContrastMode, for users who doesn’t use gray will get a set of colors to switch which changes and improves the UI Customization.

YTNoUpgradeDialog: Disables the Upgrade Dialog so you won’t be prompt to update the app.

YouMute: Mute/unmute videos in YouTube directly.

YouQuality: View and change video quality in YouTube app from the video overlay.

YTVideoOverlay: A helper tweak to add the YouMute and YouQuality buttons on the YouTube video overlay.
