YouTube Vanced was easily one of the best inventions in recent history. It offered the YouTube experience without all the annoyances like the pesky ads, constant changes in the UI, and questionable updates like removing the dislike counter. Not only did Vanced fix all these issues, but it also brought about extra features that changed how you consume content.
The SponsorBlock API remains to be one of the best features that Vanced has to offer. It skipped all sponsor segments and self-promotions, saving you much time while watching videos. Vanced also had a true AMOLED black theme that people really loved. Unfortunately, Vanced had to cease its operations following notice from Google.
While there isn’t anything as polished and seamless as YouTube Vanced, we have a few alternatives that allow for an ad-free watching experience and even enable you to download videos on your phone. So sit back, relax, and enjoy our read of some of the best YouTube Vanced alternatives you should use in 2022!

Best YouTube Vanced Alternatives in 2022
1. YouTube ReVanced
YouTube ReVanced is an alternative YouTube client available for free. It has been developed to fill the void left by the discontinued YouTube Vanced, offering users a similar suite of features along with added extras. Although the app is still in its early development stages, it offers all the functionalities of YouTube Premium, and despite the potential for minor glitches (though the app itself is stable), it’s certainly worth a try.
While ReVanced is an excellent app, it requires you to 1) download the YouTube apk (from someplace like APKPure), 2) use the ReVanced manager to patch the YT apk, which does not work on android devives with armv7 cores (most mainstream phones). They really need to think about the more common end-user, not the billionaires with the latest/greatest 5g phones. Perhaps a repository of precompiled clients, like Vanced used to do.
