For the uninitiated, let’s give a brief intro. The YouTube (Ad)Vanced is a modded YouTube app overhauled with features including – ad blocking, background playback options, and many other custom add-ons. Like most of the modded APK’s, the Vanced YT is free of cost. That being said and without any further ado, let’s see the installation procedure.

Installation
- Install SAI (Split APK Installer) from Google Play Store.
- Open SAI
- Choose the downloaded YouTube APK and install from SAI.
- Then, install MicroG as you’d normally do.
Note: MicroG installation is a must otherwise the YouTube Vanced will force stop while viewing a video.
