YouTube Vanced was a popular hacked version of the original YouTube app that provided premium-like features like ad-free videos, background play, and more. Because of legal reasons, the project was officially cancelled, and official downloads no longer exist. Numerous websites promise to have YouTube Vanced APKs, but these can be dangerous and may contain malware or old software. The best replacement is ReVanced, a community-maintained open-source successor that still provides the same features with active support. To install ReVanced, download the ReVanced Manager from its official GitHub website, use it to patch a compatible YouTube APK, and install it manually on your device. If you require Google account login capability, also install Vanced MicroG. Always make sure you are using authentic and reliable sources to prevent security threats and stay updated with your app through the most recent improvements.
