Features & Benefits

YouTube Vanced is an enhanced version of YouTube that offers a premium-like experience without the need for a subscription. Whether you’re seeking ad-free streaming, background playback, or advanced customization, YouTube Vanced provides everything you need for a seamless YouTube experience.

Works on Both Root and Non-Root Devices

By following a few simple steps, you can install YouTube Vanced on both root and non-root devices. Still, many Android users gave up on the idea of building their own app. You can’t blame them – extracting these files and building your own app doesn’t sound as fun, especially if you’re used to downloading and installing the APK directly. Also, many users conclude that such processes are specifically meant for root devices, which isn’t the case with our precompiled app and magisk module.

Amoled

Amoled gives your YouTube Vanced app a pitch-black theme like the dark mode in the original. The theme consumes less power while displaying dark backgrounds and reduces the light emitted by the device to protect the users’ eyes from glare and relieve eye strain.

Swipe Controls

Vanced comes with swipe gestures for brightness and volume during fullscreen playback. Instead of manually increasing the volume of your phone, you can swipe up or down on each side of the screen to change the brightness and volume of your current video.

Autorepeat-By-Default

You can now make videos auto-repeat by default whenever they end. This saves users the effort required to walk over to their phones and manually restart the videos. Also, whenever you enjoy good music while handling other tasks simultaneously, you don’t have to put your chores aside just to hear the song again.

Sponsorblock

YouTube Vanced lets you skip sponsored segments on every video on the platform. SponsorBlock feature helps reduce time wasted showing off the endorsements, sponsorships, subscription begging, and more before the relevant content starts.

Premium Heading

The premium branding can be displayed on the ReVanced app for an authentic look. The benefit for users is that nobody can differentiate between Vanced and the original YouTube Premium subscription unless you customize the homepage’s branding.

Supports MicroG

MicroG allows you to log into your Google account. This feature allows users to access all their accounts, channels, liked videos, or favorite creators’ content without using the YouTube application. Still, you’ll need to build YouTube Vanced and download MicroG separately.

Disabled Ads

Vanced lets users disable general and video ads from YouTube, allowing users to watch their content without interruptions. I’m aware of the significant role that these ads play, especially for the content creators. However, I can’t help but get annoyed every time I’m forced to watch an unskippable video ad for my video to continue playing. Also, what if I needed emergency information from a video, but YouTube surprised me with 3 ads tailored towards nothing relevant to my search? Imagine how inconvenient that would be.

Old Layout

Some people despise change, no matter how minor. I don’t blame them because it can be hard to adjust to the new alterations. As a result, YouTube Vanced allows you to choose an old layout as long as it is compatible with your device. These options include 240p, 480p, 1080p, 1440p, and more.

Disable-Shorts-Button

This mode helps you disable YouTube shorts from your app. Sometimes, I’d need a break from spending hours on end watching shorts like I do TikTok videos, and this feature is the perfect solution. Now, you can browse through relevant videos without diverting all your attention to the shorts.

Custom-Playback-Speed

The normal playback speed ranges from 0.5X to 1.5X. However, you can change the default playback speed options and customize them to your preferred settings with YouTube Vanced.

HDR-Auto-Brightness

(Return YouTube Dislike) RYD integration on YouTube Vanced to restore the dislike view count. This helps users know the public’s opinion on a video and determine whether the video is worth their streaming time.

Hide Creator’s watermark

A branding watermark lets creators add a logo to all the videos on their channel. With the YouTube Vanced App, you can automatically hide this branded image from all videos, giving you a full content display without the overlaying logo.

Custom-Branding

You can now change the YouTube launcher icon and name to your choice in the Vanced app. Custom-branding redefines open-source customization by giving users full control over the interface. This feature also makes you proud of the changes made and eager to open the app every time just to glimpse your own creation.

Background Play

You can watch a YouTube video and browse through other apps simultaneously without splitting your screen. It’s beneficial for users who want to focus on other tasks like browsing and chatting while watching their video on a minimized floating screen in the background. This feature is incredibly convenient for podcast fans like me whenever I have work to handle on my phone, but I don’t want to miss out on any interesting information from these sessions. It also saves data whenever you have chores to do and can only listen to the audio of videos.

Unlock the Best YouTube Experience

YouTube Vanced provides a powerful, feature-packed alternative to YouTube Premium, for free. Whether you want ad-free streaming, background playback, or more customization, YouTube Vanced is the best choice.
