The application available to s of Android needed to be discontinued after the developers received a notification from the Google, citing that if the links were not removed from the official website, legal measures would be taken.

In addition to getting rid of ads, those who choose YouTube also have access to YouTube Music (Google's music streaming service), you can listen to the audio of the videos in the background and you can also watch videos in PiP (Picture-In-Picture) mode.

It is important to that this option is more complete than the Spotify, despite not being used as much by s. That's because there are video clips for each song, which allows for a more special experience. If you have any transmission device from the Google such as chromecast, the use becomes easier, since the same company developed the service and the device.

Change your DNS 2a585u

O Domain Name Systems (or DNS, its acronym in English) is an IP address (numeric) that works as a translator for the names and addresses of websites that exist on the internet. When a website points out that it is experiencing a DNS error, it is because the “path” that should have been taken was not completed.

When accessing the Settings from your smartphone, then just search for Private DNS in the search magnifying glass and then click on the option of the same name. You can also access this path by clicking Connections>More Settings>Private DNS.

Experts indicate that the setting does not apply to applications, so just use your browser Chrome to be able to watch videos without ads. For it to be validated, we recommend that you close the application on your cell phone and open it again.
