YouTube Vanced was a very popular hacked version of YouTube where users could appreciate features like ad-free videos, background playback, and enhanced customization. Because of legal concerns, the project has been terminated, and official downloads are no longer accessible. Third-party websites provide YouTube Vanced, but downloading from unsafe sites can be hazardous because of the possibility of malware and security threats. Rather, users can opt for ReVanced, an open-source alternative that provides the same features. To install ReVanced, download the ReVanced Manager from its official GitHub repository, use it to patch a compatible YouTube APK, and manually install it. If you require Google account login assistance, install Vanced MicroG as well. Always download from reputable sources to keep your device safe and updated.
