YouTube Premium in Taiwan

Not yet available in Taiwan.

I want YouTube Premium on my phone

  • Ad free videos and music
  • YouTube continues playing even when you leave the app so can turn on a YouTube video music playlist let it run.

Edit: My main music feed stream seems to be YouTube. Lots of original and added artist content like live shows or private performances that isn’t available on Spotify, iTunes, etc. So I want YouTube to continue playing when app closes or phone is locked.

If I join with a credit card like I’m outside of Taiwan (VPN, incognito, etc.), will it work in Taiwan? Or will I still need to use a VPN or something all the time?

It’s simple. Install YouTube vanced. Just don’t forget to disable auto-update YouTube app in Google Play.

I haven’t tried it recently but when I tried to subscribe perhaps half a year back, I was unable to do it even trying a US credit card and US mailing address.

probably because your ip was coming from a server in tw

.

Better deal than in the US, where the fee just increased to US$13.99/month.

People with families hardest hit

Yes, almost 50% price hike for family plan :face_exhaling:

Too much for what it is.

Can keep it playing with your phone closed by taping a tiny piece of cardboard on the inside of your phone cover. That’s useful if you want to keep listening to it when the phone is in your pocket.

Worth it for skipping the adds and playing with the screen off
