How to install YouTube Vanced
YouTube Vanced installs next to the normal YouTube app — you do not need to uninstall anything or root your phone.
Install MicroG
Download MicroG (GmsCore) and install it. It lets Vanced sign in to your Google account.
Install YouTube Vanced
Download the Vanced APK, open it and tap Install. Allow “Install unknown apps” if Android asks.
Sign in and watch
Open YouTube Vanced, sign in (optional) and your subscriptions, playlists and history are all there — without ads.
MicroG: needed to sign in
Vanced is a modified YouTube app, so Google Play Services will not let it sign in directly. MicroG (GmsCore) is a small open-source helper that handles the Google login for Vanced.
Without MicroG, Vanced still plays videos — you just can’t use your account, subscriptions or playlists. MicroG does not replace Play Services and does not touch your other apps.

What you get with YouTube Vanced
Everything from the normal YouTube app, plus the features people usually pay YouTube Premium for — and a few that Premium doesn’t have.
No ads
Video ads, banner ads and promoted items are removed before they load. No skipping, no waiting.
Background & screen-off play
Lock your phone or switch apps and the audio keeps going — perfect for music, podcasts and lectures.
SponsorBlock
Automatically skips sponsor reads, intros and “like and subscribe” reminders, using community-marked segments.
Return YouTube Dislike
See the dislike count again, so you can spot clickbait and bad tutorials before you watch.
Picture-in-picture
Keep a video floating in a small window while you chat, browse or check maps.
Swipe controls
Swipe up or down on the player to change brightness and volume, like a proper video player.
Loop & custom speed
Repeat a video forever and pick any playback speed, not only the default steps.
Hide Shorts & clutter
Remove Shorts, the cast button, “For you” shelves and other parts of the interface you never use.
True black (AMOLED) theme
A pure black dark mode that looks great on OLED screens and saves battery.
YouTube screen off APK: keep playing with the screen locked
The normal YouTube app stops the video as soon as you lock the screen or open another app — unless you pay for Premium. YouTube Vanced removes that limit. It is the easiest YouTube screen off APK for Android.
- Open a video or playlist in YouTube Vanced.
- Press the power button or go to your home screen.
- Playback continues. Use the notification to pause, skip or go back.
Tip: turn on Settings → Playback → Background play if it was switched off. It works on mobile data and Wi-Fi, and it uses far less battery than keeping the screen on.
Great for
- Music and full albums
- Podcasts, audiobooks and talk shows
- Lectures, courses and sermons
- Sleep sounds and white noise

What is YouTube Vanced?
YouTube Vanced was the most popular modified YouTube app for Android. It took the official app and added ad blocking, background playback, a true-black theme and many small improvements. The original Team Vanced project stopped in March 2022 after a legal notice from Google, and its last builds slowly stopped working as YouTube changed.
The work continues in ReVanced, an open-source project that applies the same kind of “patches” to the current YouTube app. The download on this page is a ready-made ReVanced build of YouTube 19.47.53 — the Vanced experience, kept up to date. That is why people still call it YouTube Vanced.
Want the original? The last Team Vanced release (18.35.35) is on our old versions page, but new builds work much better with today’s YouTube.

Read guideFrequently asked questions
Is YouTube Vanced free?
Yes. YouTube Vanced is completely free — no subscription, no trial and no in-app purchases.
Is YouTube Vanced safe to install?
The APK on this page is built from the open-source ReVanced patches and is checked before we publish it. Always download from a site you trust, and keep MicroG from its official source. More on safety.
Do I need to root my phone?
No. This is the non-root build. It installs next to the normal YouTube app. You only need MicroG to sign in.
Why does it say “App not installed”?
Usually there is an older Vanced build with a different signature on your phone. Uninstall the old Vanced app (not the official YouTube app), then install again. Also check you have enough free storage.
Can I play YouTube with the screen off?
Yes — background and screen-off playback work out of the box. Lock the screen and the video keeps playing, with controls in the notification.
Will I get updates?
This page always shows the newest build we have checked. Come back here, download the new APK and install it over the old one — your settings stay.
Does YouTube Vanced work on Android TV?
No. It is made for phones and tablets. For TVs, look for a dedicated TV client instead.
