YouTube Vanced was one of the most popular modded YouTube applications that provided users with premium features such as ad-free watching, background play, and more advanced customization. The project, unfortunately, is now officially discontinued because of some legal problems, and there are no authentic downloads available. There are a lot of sites that claim to have YouTube Vanced APKs, but they carry malware or outdated versions, which compromise your device. Instead, the most suitable replacement is ReVanced, an ongoing project that offers equivalent features. To install ReVanced, get the ReVanced Manager from its official GitHub repository, then patch a compatible YouTube APK prior to installing it. If you are in need of Google account login, install Vanced MicroG as well. Always check sources and stay away from suspecting websites to have a safe and secure installation.
