Customize YouTube Your Way With ReVanced Features

Blog Article

If you're someone who watches YouTube a lot, you probably noticed the usual problems by now. Ads keep popping up when you just want to watch something quick. The video stops if you lock your screen. Some options feel like they are missing unless you pay for the premium version. That’s where YouTube Vanced came in before, and now ReVanced takes over that role with even more flexibility. This post is made to guide you in a polite way through the details of what ReVanced is, how it works, and how you can start using it to improve your YouTube watching without too much technical steps or confusion.

What is YouTube Vanced

YouTube Vanced was a modified version of the YouTube app that offered Premium-like functions to users without any cost. It let you watch videos with no ads, gave background playback, and some nice customizations like dark mode and better swipe features. Sadly, the official development of Vanced has stopped now, but it didn’t really end there. The community moved on to something called ReVanced. This one uses patches to bring the same benefits and even a few extras. It’s more flexible, because you can decide what features you want. And since it's built using newer versions of YouTube, you will find it more up-to-date too.

Vanced Patches With ReVanced

Now instead of downloading a ready-made app like Vanced before, you use the ReVanced Manager to patch the official YouTube app with the features you want. It’s like customizing the app for your own needs. You start with the base YouTube copyright, choose your features, and then install the patched app. It might sound tricky but the manager makes it pretty simple. This also means when YouTube updates, you can just reapply patches and keep using it, no need to wait for someone to update the app for you.

Block ads always

The most popular reason people try ReVanced is to block the ads. YouTube keeps showing ads before, during, and even at the end of videos. It breaks the experience, especially if you watch many short clips. With ReVanced, ads are removed by default, and you can just start watching immediately without skipping or waiting for the "skip" button.

Background play works

Background playback is something YouTube only gives in the paid plan. But for people who want to listen to music, podcasts, or lectures, it’s very useful to let audio keep playing when the screen is off. ReVanced adds this feature, so your video keeps going even if you lock your phone or open another app, which feels more natural and useful.

Swipe gestures help

Controlling your video while watching gets easier with swipe gestures. Instead of using tiny buttons, you just swipe up or down to change brightness or volume. It’s faster and feels smoother once you get used to it. Also, you do not need to pause your video while changing settings.

Force video quality

Sometimes even if your internet is fast, YouTube loads videos in low quality like 360p or 480p. It can be frustrating, especially for HD content. ReVanced lets you choose a default quality, and then every video loads in that automatically. You don’t have to set it again and again each time.

Skip sponsor parts

Many YouTubers include sponsorship messages in the middle of videos. ReVanced has support for SponsorBlock which helps skip those parts. You can also skip intros, outros, or pauses. You can decide what to skip and what not, making it more flexible than you might think.

Dark mode always

Bright screens can be uncomfortable especially at night. With ReVanced, you can always keep dark mode or pure black mode on. This looks better, saves battery, and is much easier on the eyes. For people using AMOLED screens, black mode also saves a bit more power while watching.

How to Download and Install YouTube Vanced

You will not find ReVanced on the Play Store, but it can still be installed safely.

To get it on your device, follow these steps:

  1. Visit youtubevanced.org to get the official Vanced Manager.

  2. Download and install MicroG first to allow Google account login.

  3. Open Vanced Manager and choose YouTube ReVanced from the installation section.

  4. Select the patches you want, then let the app create a patched version for you.

  5. Once it finishes, just install and open the app.

  6. Sign in with your YouTube account and start watching with your settings.

FAQ

Is ReVanced legal to use?
ReVanced is made by independent developers using public tools. It patches the YouTube app but does not host or change any content. It is meant for personal use only, so while it’s not officially allowed by YouTube, users have not faced major issues so far.

Do I need to root my phone?
No, you do not need root access. ReVanced Manager can patch the app and install it on any Android phone without needing root. This makes it easier for regular users to try it safely.

Will I lose the official YouTube app?
Not at all. You can keep both apps. Some users keep the original app for regular use and the patched version for ad-free playback. They can exist side by side without any problem.

What is MicroG and is it safe?
MicroG is needed to log into your Google account when using the patched app. It is open-source and used by thousands of users. It does not access passwords or private data. Just install it from the manager only and it should be safe to use.

Does it support YouTube Shorts and Live videos?
Yes, since it is built on the original YouTube base, all features including Shorts and Lives work properly. You will still get all sections like Subscriptions, History, and Watch Later as you do in the normal app.

How do I get updates for ReVanced?
When YouTube releases a new version, the ReVanced team usually updates the patches soon after. You just need to patch the new copyright again using the manager, and install it. That keeps you updated without waiting too long.

Conclusion

There’s no doubt YouTube is a useful app, but it comes with a few things that feel limiting after a while. ReVanced helps remove those limits by putting control back in your hands. You get to decide how you want to watch, what features to include, and which ones to skip. Whether you want to block ads, play in the background, or just keep the app simple and clean, ReVanced does all that without any subscription fee. And even if you’re not very technical, the manager makes it easy enough to follow step-by-step. Give it a try and see if it makes your watching time better than before.
