What is Vanced Manager?
The original Vanced Manager was the installer app from Team Vanced: it downloaded Vanced and MicroG and kept them updated. When Vanced ended in 2022, the idea lived on in ReVanced Manager. Instead of downloading a finished app, it takes the official YouTube APK and applies the ReVanced patches on your phone.
Most people don’t need it — the ready-made YouTube Vanced APK is quicker. Use the Manager if you want to choose exactly which patches to apply, or patch a YouTube version we don’t offer.
What Vanced Manager can do
- Patch YouTube, YouTube Music and other supported apps.
- Pick and choose patches: ad blocking, background play, SponsorBlock, themes and more.
- Save your patch selection and re-apply it to new YouTube versions.
- Install the result directly, with non-root or root mode.
How to use Vanced Manager
- Install MicroG first (needed to sign in).
- Download and install the Vanced Manager APK from this page.
- Get the official YouTube APK for the version the Manager recommends (it shows the version under Patcher → Select an app).
- In the Manager, select that APK, keep the recommended patches and tap Patch.
- When patching finishes, tap Install. Patching takes 2–10 minutes depending on your phone.
Patching needs 2 GB of free storage and a few minutes of CPU time. On older or low-RAM phones, use the ready-made YouTube Vanced APK instead.
