![]() It's not clear why Google took so long to kill the app, and there are still plenty of popular alternative YouTube clients, like the FOSS app NewPipe, that Google isn't going after. Over its five-year lifetime, Vanced was so popular that it once accidentally showed up in an official Samsung video. Vanced was, of course, not allowed in the Play Store, so an open source "Vanced Manager" app could check for updates, install both Vanced apps, and install a modded version of MicroG so you could log in with your Google account. ![]() Team Vanced also released "YouTube Music Vanced," which made similar changes to the YouTube Music app. In addition, Vanced re-enabled YouTube's removed "Dislike" button and got rid of the YouTube Shorts UI. Vanced didn't just block ads, though it also added a bunch of community-requested features like a darker dark theme, SponsorBlock integration, and video quality preferences. ![]()
