Suppose you don’t want to use our apks. In that case, you can follow the procedure below, where we explained the necessary builder to create your official version of the YouTube ReVanced APK. or Download the latest version of the ReVanced Manager to create your app today.

How We Built This YouTube ReVanced APK?

Building this Revanced APK isn’t as easy as downloading and installing the official APK directly onto your Android device, but you can follow a few easy steps to get it done fast. We used Revanced Builder by reisxd to build our own version of Revanced APK.

Firstly, you need to download Termux, an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that functions directly without rooting your device. You can download the latest version of Termux from F-Droid and run these commands:

curl -sLo revanced-builder.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reisxd/revanced-builder/main/android-interface.sh
chmod +x revanced-builder.sh
./revanced-builder.sh

Once you have the builder incorporated, it should start installing on your device. You must then select the app you’d like to patch, YouTube in this case, and wait for the software to download dependencies and, finally, the application itself.

You can find the APK files in the phone’s internal storage.

If you want to run it in the future, just run ./revanced-builder.sh again.

For updating, use ./revanced-builder.sh update and for reinstalling, use ./revanced-builder.sh reinstall (they both do different things).

If you want to see other commands, use ./revanced-builder.sh help

It Can Be Used as a Secondary YouTube

Like YouTube Vanced, you can download Revanced as a secondary YouTube on your Android device unless you prefer deleting the original version. The benefit of this feature for users is that they can switch back to the old version in case the new, but unfinished Revanced app needs debugging.

Since the official Revanced APK isn’t out yet, some people speculate about its compatibility with the original YouTube application. Various sources claim that you might have to uninstall the original YouTube app to install Revanced, but I found no such proof.

Works on Both Root and Non-Root Devices

By following a few simple steps, you can install YouTube Revanced on both root and non-root devices. Still, many Android users gave up on the idea of building their own Revanced APK the moment they realized that the official app wasn’t out yet.

You can’t blame them – extracting these files and building your own app doesn’t sound as fun, especially if you’re used to downloading and installing the APK directly. Also, many users conclude that such processes are specifically meant for root devices, which isn’t the case with YouTube Revanced.

Disabled Ads

Revanced lets users disable general and video ads from the platform, allowing users to watch their content without interruptions. This easily translates to a better user experience with the app through convenient and seamless streaming. I’m aware of the significant role that these ads play, especially for the content creators I’m following.

However, I can’t help but get annoyed every time I’m forced to watch an unskippable video ad for my video to continue playing. Also, what if I needed emergency information from a video, but YouTube decided to surprise me with 3 ads tailored towards nothing relevant to my search? Imagine how inconvenient that would be.

Background Play

You can watch a YouTube video and browse through other apps simultaneously without splitting your screen. It’s beneficial for users who want to focus on other tasks like browsing and chatting while watching their video on a minimized floating screen in the background. Users can also position the floating screen anywhere on their Android screen while using other apps or minimize it entirely and only listen to the audio version of the video.

This feature is incredibly convenient for podcast fans like myself whenever I have work to handle on my phone, but I don’t want to miss out on any interesting information from these sessions. It also serves to save data whenever you have chores to do and can only listen to the audio of videos.

Supports MicroG

MicroG allowed you to log into your Google account and access all your preferences from YouTube Vanced and now does the same for YouTube Revanced. This feature benefits users who follow through with building their Revanced version and want to access all their YouTube accounts, channels, liked videos, or favorite creator’s content without using the original application. Still, you’ll need to build Revanced and download MicroG separately because the YouTube alternative hasn’t been released as an APK that you can install directly from MicroG.

Custom-Branding

You can now change the YouTube launcher icon and name to your choice in the Revanced app. Custom-branding redefines open-source customization by giving users full control over the interface, allowing them to create their preferred platform. This feature also makes you proud of the changes made and eager to open the app every time just for a glimpse of your own creation.

Premium Heading

The premium branding for YouTube Premium users is displayed on the Revanced app for an authentic look. The benefit for users is that nobody can differentiate between Revanced and the original YouTube Premium subscription unless you customize the homepage’s branding. You can also opt to hide the original YouTube application and use Revanced instead, giving you full access to all premium features.

Hide Creator’s watermark

A branding watermark lets creators add a logo to all the videos on their channel. With the YouTube Revanced APK, you can automatically hide this branded image from all videos, giving you full content display without the overlaying logo. Users can watch any content without branding and get a full-angle view of the video. Still, these watermarks offer brand recognition and prevent video theft, whereby a creator’s videos are stolen and passed off as someone else’s project.

Remove Full-Screen Panels

With this feature, you can disable the video description and comments panel in fullscreen view. This feature benefits users who want to watch content without any panel features or settings popping up during the video. As such, users get uninterrupted and full-view streaming on the platform.

Hide-Get-Premium

Without YouTube Premium, a “Get Premium” splash screen appears whenever you open the app, encouraging you to upgrade to a premium account. However, YouTube Revanced already provides you with Premium features for free and, thus, also lets you hide the “Get Premium” screen inside the app. This way, there’s no proof that the YouTube account you’re using isn’t a premium subscription.

Sponsorblock

YouTube Revanced lets you skip sponsored segments on every video on the platform. This feature helps reduce time wasted showing off the endorsements, sponsorships, subscription begging, and more before the relevant content starts. Sponsored segments help promote the brand, message, or product of the third party without integrating it into the content. However, it takes up part of the video, thus taking part of the viewer’s streaming time.

Return YouTube Dislike

YouTube removed the public dislike count from all the videos on its platform in November 2021. This change barred everyone except the content’s creators from seeing the number of dislikes a video has. You can reverse this change with the YouTube Revanced APK, which activates RYD integration to restore the dislike view count. This helps users know the public’s opinion on a video and determine whether the video is worth their streaming time.

Autorepeat-By-Default

You can now make videos auto-repeat by default whenever they end. This saves users the effort required to walk over to their phones and manually restart the videos. Also, whenever you’re enjoying good music while handling other tasks simultaneously, you don’t have to put your chore aside just to hear the song again.

HDR-Auto-Brightness

Revanced can play HDR videos in auto-brightness mode supported by your device. This mode gives streamers the best brightness settings for high dynamic range videos on the platform, resulting in the optimum streaming experience. Regulating the brightness to the most favorable levels also protects your eyes from screen glare and prevents straining.

Swipe Controls

Revanced comes with swipe gestures for brightness and volume during fullscreen playback. Instead of manually increasing the volume of your phone, you can simply swipe up or down on each side of the screen to change the brightness and volume of your current video. These swipe gestures free up screen space that would’ve otherwise hosted clickable UI icons for the relevant video functions.

Custom-Playback-Speed

The normal YouTube playback speed ranges from 0.5X to 1.5X. However, you can change the default playback speed options and customize them to your preferred settings with the YouTube Revanced APK. Users can tweak the speed of their videos to make them go either slower or faster than the default settings, depending on their objectives.

Amoled

Amoled gives your YouTube Revanced app a pitch-black theme like the dark mode in the original YouTube APK. The theme consumes less power while displaying dark backgrounds and reduces the light emitted by the device to protect the users’ eyes from glare and provide some relief from eye strain.

Disable-Shorts-Button

This mode helps you disable YouTube shorts from your Revanced APK. YouTube Shorts let creators produce content in less time, improving upload quality and quantity. However, I find them addictive because they’re always quick and punchy, unlike regular YouTube videos, making them more entertaining. Sometimes I’d need a break from spending hours on end watching shorts like I do TikTok videos, and this feature is the perfect solution. Now, you can browse through relevant videos without diverting all your attention to the shorts.

Old-Quality-Layout

Some people despise change, no matter how minor. I don’t blame them because it can be hard to adjust to the new alterations. As a result, YouTube Revanced allows you to choose an old-quality layout on the platform as long as it is compatible with your device. These options include 240p, 480p, 1080p, 1440p, and more.

Enable-Debugging

Sometimes bugs cause your apps to lag or trigger various errors that have ripple effects, and this feature helps ease the issue. With the Revanced APK, debugging is automatically applied in the app and functions while you’re streaming to identify the relevant errors and work towards dealing with the issue.
