YouTube Vanced was an altered version of YouTube that included features such as ad-blocking, background play, and dark modes without the need for a YouTube Premium subscription. After its halt, numerous users look for alternatives such as YouTube ReVanced. To install YouTube Vanced (or ReVanced), first, search for "Vanced Manager" or "ReVanced Manager" on reputable sources such as GitHub or XDA Forums. Download and install the APK, then install MicroG (needed for Google login) and the hacked YouTube app through the manager. Make sure to activate app installs from unknown sources in your device settings. Be careful not to use unofficial sites, as they can distribute malware-tainted versions.
