It was known to all that the advanced version of the regular YouTube app aka YouTube Vanced app has an inbuilt ad-blocking feature.
The particular ads showing issue happening after upgrading the software version of the app. Whereas Vanced indicates that recently Google has made some changes in its ad implementation and that’s why YouTube videos are now showing ads even on the Vanced app. As of now, the Vanced developers are trying to find out some workarounds in order to restrict the ads. Therefore, we may have to wait for further patch releases or any announcements from Vanced.

If you’re using the YouTube app on your Android device and often think about the background playback or ad-blocking feature, go through all the features which you will love so much. We have provided all the highlighted features of the Vanced app.

Google Ads or any kind of ads are an important part of an online platform to support online publications and creators. This another way to generate income for Google and creators as well. Nowadays, most people know that. Still, so many users don’t prefer to see longer or interrupted ads before or between the video playback. That’s annoying.
The Vanced app has built-in options for adblocking. You can toggle settings to work the app accordingly which you really can’t with the official YouTube app.
Background Playback
Playing videos in the background (outside of the YouTube app) offered by YouTube Premium service which asks for the monthly subscription. While the Vanced app works seamlessly without any issues. Even you tap the home button and your app goes to the background, video won’t stop playing. Cool, isn’t it!
