What is YouTube ReVanced?
ReVanced is an open-source project that started in 2022, right after Team Vanced shut down. Instead of shipping one modified app, ReVanced publishes patches: small changes that are applied to the official YouTube APK. That makes it much easier to keep up with new YouTube versions — and it’s why ReVanced builds keep working today.
“YouTube ReVanced” simply means YouTube with the ReVanced patches applied. The ready-made build on this page uses the Morphe patches — the continuation of ReVanced by former ReVanced developers, with the same features — because the ReVanced team only publishes patches, not finished APKs. It is the same file we offer as YouTube Vanced. For the official ReVanced patches, patch YouTube yourself with the Manager.
