YouTube Vanced

Uncommon card · No. 158567

YouTube Vanced (or simply Vanced, formerly iYTBP) is a discontinued third-party modification of the YouTube application for Android. It adds features such as a built-in ad blocker, SponsorBlock, and implementation of the Return YouTube Dislike browser extension. Modified versions of YouTube Music and MicroG were also developed. The name Vanced references the software's ad blocking features, removing ad from the word advanced. YouTube Vanced and its YouTube Music and MicroG counterparts could be downloaded and updated via the Vanced Manager using pre-built APK files. On March 13, 2022, the developers of YouTube Vanced announced that the application would be shut down after they received a cease and desist letter from Google over distributing pre-built application files. The developers were forced to stop developing and distributing the app.
