We will not tell you how to get rid of the content-embedded ads (besides changing your favorite channels maybe) but all other commercials can be indeed blocked. They come integrated into the video itself so you can’t do much more than just manually scroll through the timeline. Ads of this type are served not by YouTube but by YouTubers. Although they cannot be skipped either, bumper ads would only last for 6 seconds before the show continues. These are the shortest video commercials deployed by YouTube. They come within the show (normally, after 10 minutes) and cannot be skipped. Such ads are usually served with long YouTube videos. In particular, it affects users who are not logged into their Google Account. This kind of ad lasts over 15 seconds without an option to skip it. Can be shown before, during, and after the video. It lasts for up to half a minute but you can skip it after watching for 5 seconds.

This is the kind of ad you see with every single video. But for us, it is indeed important to understand what types of ads the video streaming platform is serving to Apple users so we can fight them more efficiently.

And, lucky you, we do know a few ways to block YouTube ads on iPad and iPhone. Probably that’s why you came across this article. Buying the newest and the most expensive Apple model doesn’t help either. Often ads are unskippable, and if you plan on watching some really long video, there is still no escape: ads will come in the middle of the show. Since those are short, it is not clear anymore, whether we watch more actual content or just the ads. Moreover, ads are served to each individual Youtube video. Wait, of course, we are paying - by watching numerous ads all the time! Nowadays this isn’t any different from traditional TV. Online streaming is so much better than traditional broadcasting: not only do you choose what and when to see but also don’t have to pay for it. Along with you almost two billion people across the planet are daily watching Youtube instead.
