YouTube ReVanced v21.12.46

YouTube ReVanced is a modified version built to cover many of the essentials you expect from YouTube—without constantly getting interrupted by extra distractions. When you watch videos in full-screen, you won’t be bothered by unnecessary video information, and your viewing stays focused. You can also download the videos you like in just a few quick steps, with no need for third-party tools. Playback stays clean and easy to follow, and video quality can remain fixed based on your chosen setting, even if your connection changes. Overall, the goal is a smoother, simpler experience so you can concentrate on what matters.

Key Features

Better background playback and HDR support

• Ad blocking is one of the most important upgrades. It noticeably improves the experience and makes ReVanced feel like a stronger alternative to the standard YouTube app.
• It’s positioned as the successor to YouTube Vanced, letting users move to a more capable setup with less friction.



• The Android version focuses on a clean interface plus practical improvements that enhance everyday viewing.
• If you run into issues with a newer build, you can revert to the previous version for troubleshooting during development.

Root-access friendly (and compatible for more users)

• ReVanced is designed to be easier to use than many custom builds made only for rooted phones, because it supports a broader range of devices.
• You can install and use it by following simple steps, regardless of whether your device has root access.
• The ReVanced APK is treated as an official replacement for the Vanced platform and aims to deliver core “YouTube Advanced”-style features, along with improvements intended to protect your viewing history from getting lost.

A useful alternative to YouTube on Android

• You can download ReVanced as an alternative YouTube app for Android, similar to the old YouTube Vanced approach.
• If the current build lacks features you need, you can switch back to an earlier ReVanced version while things are still being refined.
• Concerns about compatibility are common, but there’s no indication (from the referenced investigation) that ReVanced requires removing YouTube in order to work.

Works on devices with or without root

• Installation is possible on many devices using straightforward methods—even if you don’t have root.
• Some users previously gave up because an official app wasn’t available yet for their setup, but ReVanced is not restricted only to rooted devices.

App Highlights

• AMOLED Dark Mode: Built for AMOLED/OLED screens to reduce battery use and lessen eye strain. It also makes it easier to scroll through comments and feeds without the harsh bright white background.
• Block Video Ads: Blocks advertisements across the app—whether ads appear in the middle of a video, at the start, or inside the feed. You can also turn ad-blocking off if you want to support a channel.
• Background Playback: Keeps audio playing even when the screen is off. In background mode, the app streams only audio, which can help reduce data usage.
• Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode: Available on Android 8.0 Oreo and newer. PiP lets you use other apps while the video continues in a small floating window.
• Swipe Gesture Controls (Brightness & Volume): When enabled, you can adjust brightness and volume using swipe gestures—similar to how swipe controls work in players like MX Player or VLC Player.
• Auto Repeat: Adds a quick toggle button on the currently playing video so you can enable or disable repeat with a single tap—handy for music listeners who want continuous playback.
