YouTube Vanced was a widely-used third-party app modification of the official YouTube application that provided ad-free videos, background play, and a more streamlined user interface, among premium-like features. Due to legal reasons, however, the project has been cancelled and is no longer downloadable in an official manner. There are many unofficial websites posing as websites providing YouTube Vanced, yet these sites could bring serious threats of malware, theft of personal data, among others. The top choice is ReVanced, an actively maintained project that offers comparable features with regular updates. To install ReVanced, download the ReVanced Manager from its official GitHub repository, use it to patch a compatible YouTube APK, and install it on your device. If you want to log in using your Google account, you will also require Vanced MicroG. Always use legitimate sources to facilitate a secure and malware-free install.
