YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod is a patched version of the YouTube app for Android that blocks ads and adds the playback features Google leaves out. This page covers the latest APK release with screenshots, key features, installation steps, compatibility details, and what to check before you install.

What is YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod?

YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod is a modified build of the official YouTube client. It runs the same video catalogue and account login you already use, but the patches strip out ads and unlock extras like background play that normally sit behind a Premium subscription.

You sign in with your usual Google account and browse the same feed, subscriptions, and search. The difference shows up during playback. No pre-roll ads, no mid-roll breaks, audio keeps going when you lock the screen, and a small player floats over other apps when you leave the video.

The build is sideload-only because Google Play will not host a patched copy of its own app. The ReVanced team rebuilds the patches against each new YouTube release, so the mod follows the official version closely and keeps the interface familiar to anyone who has used YouTube before.

What does YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod offer?

YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod focuses on a cleaner, ad-free YouTube. Every video plays without banner overlays or skippable spots, and the patches add the convenience features most people install the mod for in the first place.

Background playback keeps audio running with the screen off, which makes the app usable for music and podcasts. Picture-in-picture shrinks the video into a floating window so you can read or reply while it plays.

SponsorBlock skips sponsor reads and intros automatically using community-submitted timestamps. Return YouTube Dislike brings back the public dislike count. You can also force higher default resolution and pick a custom theme, including a true-black AMOLED mode.

Key features

YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod ships with the same surface as the official client. Here is what users actually install the mod for:

  • Ad-free playback: No pre-roll, mid-roll, or banner ads on any video.
  • Background play: Audio keeps going with the screen off or the app minimised.
  • Picture-in-picture: Video shrinks into a floating window over other apps.
  • SponsorBlock: Skip sponsor segments using community-submitted timestamps.
  • Custom themes: Pick accent colours and a true-black AMOLED mode.
  • Return Dislike: The public dislike count shows up under videos again.

Mod features

The modded build of YouTube ReVanced + Vanced adds the following on top of the official client:

  • Ad-free playback: No banner overlays or pre-roll spots.
  • Premium unlocks: Background play and picture-in-picture without a subscription.
  • Patch refresh: Patches rebuild against each new YouTube release.
  • Force quality: Set a default resolution so it stops dropping to low.
  • No tracking: Analytics and telemetry calls stripped from the build.
  • Tracking removed: Analytics endpoints stripped from the binary.

What's new in the latest version?

The latest build of YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod (v2.6.1) focuses on stability, compatibility, and minor interface fixes on top of the upstream changes from the official client. The team rebuilds the patches against each new YouTube release as it lands, so the modded build typically follows the official version by a few days.

  • Improved stability across newer Android versions, including Android 14 and 15
  • Faster loading and reduced memory footprint on lower-RAM devices
  • Bug fixes for reported playback, sync, or sign-in issues
  • Updated interface elements that match the official client's current design
  • Better support for foldable and tablet form factors
  • Patched mod modules rebuilt against the new base APK

Good to know before installing

Modded APKs install via sideload, so Android will ask you to allow 'Install unknown apps' for your file manager or browser. This is normal. Only enable it for sources you trust.

Check the package name, version, and requested permissions before opening the app. If the permissions do not match what a YouTube client should need, hold off on installing.

Is YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod safe?

YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod is safest when you download it from the official ReVanced source or a trusted mirror. APK files from unknown sites can be outdated, repackaged, or unsafe. Before installing, check the package name, version, file size, and requested permissions. If anything looks different from what you expect, do not install the APK.

The YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod APK on this page is signed by the modder, not by Google. Google Play Protect will flag it on install because it is not from the Play Store. That warning is expected for any sideloaded APK. You can dismiss it and proceed at your own discretion. The bigger question is what is inside the file, which is why we publish the package name, version number, and file size up top.

FAQ

  • Is YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod free?
    Yes. The APK is free to install, and it removes the ads and unlocks the Premium-style features without a paid subscription.
  • Is YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod legal?
    The app is a modified YouTube client. Patching the app is a grey area, and blocking ads may go against YouTube's terms, so use it with that in mind.
  • Can I install YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod on Fire TV or Android TV?
    Yes. Sideload it through Downloader. The interface works with a remote, though it is built mainly for phones and tablets.
  • Does YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod update automatically?
    No. There is no Play Store auto-update for a patched build. Refresh this page when a new version drops and install it over the old one.
  • Do I lose background play if YouTube updates?
    The official app can break the patches when it updates. Install the matching ReVanced build from this page instead of letting the base YouTube app overwrite it.
  • What Android version does it require?
    Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later for the latest builds.

Final verdict

YouTube ReVanced + Vanced Mod is worth installing if you want YouTube without ads and with the Premium-style extras Google charges for. You get background play, picture-in-picture, SponsorBlock, and theme options on top of the app you already know. Check compatibility, permissions, and the download source before installing the APK, and update from this page when a new build drops.

For your primary account, the Play Store version stays the safer install path because of Google's pre-install scanning and the auto-update channel. Use the modded build where account risk is lower. If you only use one account, weigh the convenience of the ad-free unlocks against the small but real risk that YouTube may flag patched clients.
