YouTube Vanced is an enhanced version of YouTube that offers a premium-like experience without a subscription. Whether you’re looking for ad-free streaming, background playback, or advanced customization, YouTube Vanced provides everything you need for a seamless YouTube experience.
One of the biggest frustrations with YouTube is constant interruptions from ads. With YouTube Vanced:
✔ Completely removes all YouTube ads (pre-roll, mid-roll, and banner ads).
✔ No need for third-party ad blockers or YouTube Premium.
✔ Enjoy uninterrupted videos without distractions.
YouTube Premium charges a fee to let you listen to videos in the background, but YouTube Vanced offers it for free.
✔ Listen to YouTube videos even with the screen off.
✔ Use Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode to watch videos while using other apps.
✔ Ideal for music lovers, podcasts, and multitaskers.
Dark mode is essential for users who prefer low-light environments or want to save battery on OLED screens.
✔ True AMOLED Dark Mode – Fully black background reduces power consumption.
✔ Choose from Light, Dark, and Black themes for a personalized interface.
✔ Less eye strain for longer video-watching sessions.
Easily adjust volume and brightness without pressing buttons:
✔ Swipe up/down on the left side of the screen to adjust brightness.
✔ Swipe up/down on the right side to adjust volume.
✔ No need to press physical buttons while watching videos.
Many YouTube creators include sponsored messages and ads inside their videos. YouTube Vanced automatically skips these sections, so you don’t have to.
✔ Uses crowdsourced data to detect and skip sponsorships.
✔ Removes self-promotion, intro ads, and outro ads.
✔ Customizable – Choose what to skip and what to watch.
