Version `9.20.52` Size 102 MB [Android](https://bestforandroid.com/ "best android guides") 8.0+ What is YouTube Music --------------------- YouTube Music is Google’s music [streaming](https://bestforandroid.com/movie-streaming-apps/ "best free movie apps") service. The app pulls from the full YouTube catalog, official releases, live recordings, covers, remixes, and music videos, and adds personal recommendations, smart playlists, and downloads for offline listening. The default Android client is free with ads; the Premium tier unlocks ad-free playback, screen-off audio, and downloads. This modded build (v9.20.52) keeps the same Google front-end but routes the entitlement check so Premium features stay on without an active subscription. The catalog, the search, the recommendations, all the same. What changes is what you can do with them. ![YouTube Music for Android, three screenshots showing the home, library, and now-playing views](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/youtube-music-screenshots-2026.jpg) What the mod unlocks -------------------- - Ad-free music and video streaming across the entire catalog - Background playback with the screen locked or the app in the background - Audio-only mode for video tracks (saves data and battery on long commutes) - Download tracks, albums, and playlists for offline listening - Higher audio quality on supported tracks (256 kbps AAC where the source allows it) - No region-locked notices on user-uploaded covers and live sets App info -------- .bfak-info,.bfak-info *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0} .bfak-info{ container-type:inline-size; padding:48px;margin:0 0 64px;border-radius:20px; background:var(--bfak-bg-surface-5pct,rgba(46,74,71,0.05)); font-family:var(--bfak-font-sans,Inter,system-ui,sans-serif); color:var(--bfak-ink,#1C2B2A); } .bfak-info__eyebrow{ font-size:12px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:0.16em;text-transform:uppercase; color:var(--bfak-accent,#2E4A47);margin-bottom:24px; } .bfak-info__grid{ display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(2,1fr);gap:32px 48px; } .bfak-info__row{ display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:8px; padding-bottom:24px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--bfak-line,rgba(46,74,71,0.12)); } .bfak-info__row:nth-last-child(-n+2){border-bottom:none;padding-bottom:0} .bfak-info__label{ font-size:12px;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:0.12em;text-transform:uppercase; color:var(--bfak-muted,#6B7878); } .bfak-info__value{ font-size:18px;line-height:1.55;color:var(--bfak-ink,#1C2B2A); } .bfak-info__value code{ font-family:var(--bfak-font-mono,'JetBrains Mono',ui-monospace,Menlo,monospace); font-size:14px;color:var(--bfak-accent,#2E4A47); background:var(--bfak-code-bg,rgba(46,74,71,0.06)); padding:4px 8px;border-radius:4px; } @container (max-width: 640px){ .bfak-info{padding:32px 24px} .bfak-info__grid{grid-template-columns:1fr;gap:24px} } App details at a glance Developer Google LLC Version `9.20.52` File size 102 MB Android requirement 8.0 (Oreo) or later Package ID `app.morphe.android.apps.youtube.music` Installs (Play Store base) 5,000,000,000+ Rating 4.5 / 5 on Play Store Language Multi-language (English + 60 others) How to install YouTube Music Mod -------------------------------- 1. Uninstall the official YouTube Music if installed. The package IDs differ, but signing certificates can conflict on a fresh install. 2. Tap the **Download Mod v9.20.52** button at the top of the page. The [APK](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/ "apps apk download") arrives in your Downloads folder. 3. Open the file. Android prompts for *Install unknown apps* permission, grant it to your file manager for this one install. 4. Run the installer. The first launch may ask you to sign in with a Google account; that part works as normal. 5. Open the app’s Settings and disable *Background battery restriction*. This keeps lock-screen playback reliable on Android 12+. FAQ --- ### Is the mod safe to install? The APK is signed by the modder, not by Google. We host the file on our Cloudflare R2 storage so the URL stays stable, and you can scan it on VirusTotal before installing if you want a second opinion. ### Why does the file’s internal version differ from the headline? The mod tracks YouTube Music’s release cycle but lags by a few days while the modder rebuilds against the new base. The internal file version is 9.17.51; aggregator sites reference v9.20.52 as the SEO-facing release, which is what most readers search for. ### Can I sign in with my regular Google account? Yes. The mod doesn’t intercept account auth, only the entitlement check. Your library, history, and recommendations all sync as usual. ### Does the mod auto-update? No. Pull the latest version from this page when a new build drops, that’s the simplest way to stay current without breaking the entitlement patch. Related Android apps -------------------- If this build doesn’t fit, the [YouTube Music Premium Morphe](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/youtube-music-morphe/) variant ships the same premium unlocks on a different patching tree. For a different streaming catalog, [Spotify Premium MOD](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/spotify-premium-mod-apk/) keeps everything that makes [Spotify](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/spotify-premium-mod-apk/ "spotify") recognisable, Discover Weekly, Daily Mix, the recommendation engine, while removing the paywall on offline downloads and ad-free play. [YouTube Premium](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/youtube-premium-mod/) covers the regular YouTube client (videos rather than music) with the same premium-unlock approach. For the iOS-pedigree alternative that runs cleanly on Android, [Apple Music for Android](https://bestforandroid.com/apk/apple-music-android/) is the official subscription experience. If you’d rather pull tracks down directly than stream, our roundup of [MP3 music download sites](https://bestforandroid.com/mp3-music-download-sites/) covers the legal corners of free-MP3 culture, and the guide to [music recognition apps](https://bestforandroid.com/music-recognition-apps/) walks through Shazam alternatives that work offline. *This page links to a modified APK that unlocks features normally gated behind a paid subscription.
