Today, in this post, I will tell you about the App that lets you access all the features the same as YouTube with the same design, UI, and G- . First, I want to make it clear that you cannot access features just by taking the APK from any subscribed , as the features are inherited from the App through API and get linked to your once you subscribe.

The app is not a modified or malware-injected variant of the YT app. But is a counterfeit version of YouTube using the original API sourced from the version of the app and coding it to form a feature-rich YouTube app offering background playback and PiP videos without paying a single penny.
