Frrr, I forgot how bad normal YouTube is until I watch it on a friend's phone or have to use it on my TV. I love being able to watch YouTube without having my phone screen on to. Life saving stuff and also has improved my battery life on my phone, no joke 😭 fuck ads, they're awful they make me feel aggressive as hell
And Tizentube Cobalt for non-Tizen devices, although I vastly prefer SmartTube for that use case. Having both is good in case you need a backup for when one is not working properly.
I haven't tried in a long time. Usually in the browser. I've found some userscripts that should do something but I can't be bothered much. I usually watch the recordings anyway, those are adfree (or the content creater put it one YouTube the day later). For my TV, there's an adfree app.
Ever since I bought my first smartphone over 20 years ago, i never have had youtube with adds. Back in the day I used to root all my phones. Never ever having adds in video's, even on my windows pc. I understand completely what it feels like.
There have always been options, now it's revanced, before it was vanced, or custom youtube apk's and with root there's modules etc. I'm now on my first unrooted phone, but that might change again in the future, (if Google decides to ban side-loading apps)
Youtube premium is not available in my country so I’ve been using revanced with my android phone. Recently got an iphone and now the ads are back feels like a step down in QoL. They really are frustrating.
The hate returning because I get an annoying notification to make MicroG run in the background every time I open the damn app. The hate increasing because doing what the notification wants doesn't change anything.
Anyway still love revanced. But that shit is messed up.
ive been trying to revanced yt on my android for quite a while now but still haven't succeed. whenever it start the patching process it would suddenly stop and close the revanced app midway and i wouldn't get any option to install. experience no problem when im doing the same to yt music but w yt for some reason it just wont work. also didn't found no solution on Google.
putting this here in case anyone can help me even tho atp im already kinda giving up
man this brings me back to when I would watch regular YouTube and I’d have to continuously click off the video dozens of times just to not get an ad, it was so migraine inducing and exhausting, thank god I found revanced, I’m gonna lose my mind if YouTube tries taking this down given they went after adblockers before
untill that friend who refuses to use revanced goes to show you a youtube vid on their phone and an add shows up lol i go mad... "how dare you bring dirty ads into my home!" /s lol
I used vanced like 2 years ago and it was working properly, then it stopped working and then finally i got youtube premium. Can anyone guide me to get vanced back I really need it.
honestly thank you to everyone here, especially anyone who posted guides, I'm a new convert, and I'm very happy to be here, the real MVPs

Smarttube for TVs.
Ooo yummy, I'll have to see if it'll work on my houses Roku TV. I swear it's more ads than video now on YouTube for TV
Tizentube is another option.
ST is friggin awesome.
And Tizentube Cobalt for non-Tizen devices, although I vastly prefer SmartTube for that use case. Having both is good in case you need a backup for when one is not working properly.
Oh... I think it's only for Google TV.
I have a Roku tv too and Smarttube doesn't work there. You need to search Playlet. Works like a charm blocking ads.
sadly cant access, my smart tv only has a limited selection of apps to download.
i open normal youtube i see ads i immediately close it again its that simple
This is how I am with Twitch. The stream already starts with an ad. I just close the tab. It wasn't that interesting to begin with.
Are you watching on TV?
I haven't tried in a long time. Usually in the browser. I've found some userscripts that should do something but I can't be bothered much. I usually watch the recordings anyway, those are adfree (or the content creater put it one YouTube the day later). For my TV, there's an adfree app.
May I know what's the app that you use for TV. I also have an app but maybe yours is better and I want to try it out
On TV use S0undTV for ad-free Twitch, otherwise Revanced for mobile, and Ublock Origin for PC.
I patched twitch recently and still get ads. I'm even using an Albanian vpn and it serves me English video ads.
On mobile you mean? Via revanced? I haven't used it on mobile in a long time, i assumed it still worked ad-free. My bad.
Yeah I got the suggested apk, applied the patches, still ads :/
That's a shame :/ I'd help you if I could, but I have no idea myself.
Ever since I bought my first smartphone over 20 years ago, i never have had youtube with adds. Back in the day I used to root all my phones. Never ever having adds in video's, even on my windows pc. I understand completely what it feels like.
This is where you should start.
I started in 2004
Oops, I replied to you by mistake.
My apologies.
Wait does this imply you still don't have any ads?
Or did they or did some apps somehow managed to revoke them to be enabled?
There have always been options, now it's revanced, before it was vanced, or custom youtube apk's and with root there's modules etc. I'm now on my first unrooted phone, but that might change again in the future, (if Google decides to ban side-loading apps)
What smartphone did you get before the iPhone was invented in 2007, pray tell?
The hate still in my body for Duolingo because I can't seem to patch it
It's the ai avoiding your efforts
Just get a pre-patched apk from https://liteapks.com/
There's some fake ones on there. That Netflix one about got me. I knew it was too good to be true
I can vouch for Balatan's mod for Duolingo Max on mobilism.
The hate transfers to google.
Youtube premium is not available in my country so I’ve been using revanced with my android phone. Recently got an iphone and now the ads are back feels like a step down in QoL. They really are frustrating.
Sideload Uyou or Uyou plus
Pretube for IOS!
The hate returning because I get an annoying notification to make MicroG run in the background every time I open the damn app. The hate increasing because doing what the notification wants doesn't change anything.

It's very easy. Just let me know the make and model of your phone and I'll guide you through or you can visit this website https://dontkillmyapp.com/
I'm pretty sure your device must be a xiaomi MIUI or that hyper OS thingy.
Weird, I don't have the same problem. I just have a hidden notification that it's one of the actively running apps, but I have to go looking for that.
You can just disable notifications for MicroG and it's all fine
Like I said, it's not obtrusive and I have to go looking for it. I'm not bothered enough to mess with it.

Go here. Hope it helps.
Definitely. I was mucking about trying to figure out how to patch things. But just went back to fdroid for pipepipe or using brave browser.
Maybe i can get further next time i try.
Same but i figured it out eventually, dm me I'll try to help or they do have a discord server with a help channel.
Low storage, corrupted file, play protect. Any of them can stop the install midway.
dm me I'll try to help or you can go to their discord server, there's a help channel.
damn this guy has nice abs
Used my friend's phone to look for some song on normal yt
That shit was horrible
Hey devs, thanks for vanced, this might be the only app left that keeps me from switching back to a flip phone nowadays.
Are you guys still able to download Vanced?
vanced? that's now obsolete back in 2022
(re)vanced is here: https://revanced.app/download
So true
lol. yes
man this brings me back to when I would watch regular YouTube and I’d have to continuously click off the video dozens of times just to not get an ad, it was so migraine inducing and exhausting, thank god I found revanced, I’m gonna lose my mind if YouTube tries taking this down given they went after adblockers before
And then instantly returning after watching TGA...
untill that friend who refuses to use revanced goes to show you a youtube vid on their phone and an add shows up lol i go mad... "how dare you bring dirty ads into my home!" /s lol
I used vanced like 2 years ago and it was working properly, then it stopped working and then finally i got youtube premium. Can anyone guide me to get vanced back I really need it.
Hey, is Spotify in revanced manager down for everyone or it's just me?
This is soo true😂😂
Has the x login been fixed?
I love revanced❤️❤️
Yt revanced's user experience is excellent. I can't go to the official YouTube app because it's awful and a failure.
Is revanced better than the normal one?
depending on the app, yes, it can be miles better than the official unpatched one
try using official youtube compared to when you patch youtube with revanced
When I meant original I meant the YouTube Vance original not the actual unpatched YouTube itself
should've been more clear on that part but yes, it's now miles ahead of youtube vanced back when it was still alive
hmm I see
Doesn't exist anymore
