Virus Total Link YouTube ReVanced is an unofficial mod of the original YouTube app, which offers additional features such as ad-blocking, background playback, and more. While it’s not officially endorsed by YouTube, ReVanced is considered safe to use as it does not contain any malicious code or malware. However, users should always exercise caution when downloading apps from third-party sources, as there is a potential risk of downloading a malicious version of the app. It’s recommended to download ReVanced from trusted sources and avoid downloading any unverified versions that may compromise your device’s security.

      Yeah I agree, but the trouble is you can’t just download from github. You have to also download YouTube from google (and a specific older version at that) and then use ReVanced to modify - and that’s if it even works for you. This creates a barrier to entry that many people just won’t bother with.

        Agree, but just like OP said “there is a potential risk of downloading a malicious version of the app” how do i know if links for download are safe, i could just give you this link (https://revanced-apks.pages.dev/) from r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and say they work for me best… I am just saying people need to be more careful what they are downloading and not trusting some random people from internet including ME

          Absolutely, you’re not wrong. I was mainly commenting on the install process being a negative of ReVanced.

            I am not quite sure, but i believe if they publish APKs they will probably get shut down by Google and this is reason why they choose this way of installing

    Rather than these links get the manager and patch the YT app directly, that will also give you a bunch of options of how you want it, you will likely need to downgrade the app to a version better suited for patching, usually not the latest, at this time i believe it’s still 18.05.40. Hate linking to Reddit here but at this time this might be the best guide for the process, wish it wasn’t there.

      It can’t go on FDroid because it uses Google code. You have to download the official YouTube app and then use ReVanced to modify it.

    Just remember the creators do not distribute a premade apk. They only provide the tools to make one yourself. If you download a premade apk it is not official and could be messed with. With that being said I have been using it for over a year and have had nothing happen to the google account that was logged in. It is super easy to make your own apk my wife make her own in about 5 min with me only sending her to the official repo.
