YouTube Vanced is a new modded version of YouTube which contains a lot of features like Ad Blocking, Background Playback and many more. It is a version of YouTube based on the official version of the Android app for the video portal. The main differences regarding the original application are its extra functions, including the possibility to block adverts. Therefore, by default, without having to carry out any settings or modifications, we can play any contents uploaded to the video site without having to watch adverts.

The only drawback is that it doesn’t allow us to download videos, therefore, we’ll have to resort to other alternative applications of the likes of TubeMate for such purpose. In turn, it requires us to be permanently connected to the Internet, therefore, it’s recommendable to have a WiFi hotspot at hand if we don’t want to consume our entire data plan watching videos. How to Install YouTube Vanced? YouTube Vanced android can’t be downloaded from Google Play since it goes against Google’s business model based on the adverts embedded into the videos on YouTube. That’s why we have to resort to alternative download sites of the likes of vancedtube, from where we can download the APK installation file. There is no doubt installing on Non-Rooted devices, just download the suitable APK file for your device from the Non-Root Downloads page and install it normally and additionally install MicroG package found in the download links in order to be able to log into a google account (not necessary if you don't want to log in). For the Rooted devices and Magisk module, there will need a little bit more work. Rooted devices must have a custom recovery like TWRP for flashing installer.
