Shortcut to redirect YouTube links into the iOS app »

How to make YouTube videos redirect into the app – thanks to this shortcut from Stephen Robles.

Stephen Robles of AppleInsider shared a shortcut for redirecting YouTube links into the app:

The shortcut works by replacing the https with youtube – using Stephen’s own YouTube channel URL as an example, it’d appear like youtube://www.youtube.com/@beardfm.

Time to add this to my YouTube collection 🙂
