How to download and install YouTube ReVanced
ReVanced installs next to the official YouTube app. You don’t need to uninstall anything or root your phone.
Download MicroG RE
Get MicroG RE. It handles your Google login for ReVanced.
Install MicroG RE
Open the file and tap Install. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser if asked. Had ReVanced GmsCore before? Uninstall it first.
Download & install ReVanced
Download the ReVanced APK, open it and tap Install. If Play Protect warns you, tap Install anyway.
Last step: sign in and set it up
Open YouTube ReVanced and sign in — your subscriptions, playlists and history are all there. Then open Settings → Morphe to turn on SponsorBlock, hide Shorts, pick a default quality and more.
Seeing “The following content is not available on this app”? Your build is outdated — install the latest version from this page.
MicroG RE: needed to sign in
Google Play Services won’t sign in a modified app. MicroG RE is a small open-source helper from the Morphe project that does the Google login for this ReVanced build — nothing else on your phone is changed.
Without it, ReVanced still plays videos; you just can’t use your account. Use MicroG RE with the downloads on this page — ReVanced’s own GmsCore is only for builds you patch yourself with ReVanced Manager.

Rooted phone? Use the YouTube Magisk module
On a rooted phone you can patch the official YouTube app itself instead of installing a second one. No MicroG needed — you sign in with your normal Google Play Services. This module is built with the same patches by the j-hc builder (now using Morphe).
- Download the Magisk module zip. It brings the matching YouTube version with it — no need to install YouTube yourself.
- Open Magisk → Modules → Install from storage and pick the zip.
- Reboot. YouTube now opens with the patches applied.
Tip: use zygisk-detach to stop the Play Store from updating YouTube, so an update doesn’t undo the patches.

Prefer 100% official ReVanced?
The ReVanced team doesn’t publish ready-made YouTube APKs. Their official way is ReVanced Manager: it patches the original YouTube app on your own phone.
- Install ReVanced Manager 2.6.0 (official release).
- Install ReVanced GmsCore — the MicroG that official ReVanced builds use.
- In the Manager, pick YouTube, keep the recommended patches and tap Patch.
The ready-made download at the top of this page is quicker and works the same way — it just uses the Morphe patches instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is YouTube ReVanced free?
Yes — completely free, with no subscription or in-app purchases.
Is YouTube ReVanced safe?
ReVanced is open source and the build here is checked before we publish it. Play Protect warns about every modified YouTube app; that warning is expected. Only download ReVanced and MicroG from sources you trust.
Do I need root?
No. The APK on this page is the non-root build. Rooted users can use the Magisk module instead.
Why can’t I sign in?
Install or update MicroG RE (not ReVanced GmsCore — that one is for builds you patch yourself), set its battery usage to Unrestricted, then clear ReVanced’s data and sign in again.
Why does it say “App not installed”?
An older build signed by someone else is probably installed. Uninstall that one (not the official YouTube app) and try again.
What is the difference between ReVanced and ReVanced Extended?
ReVanced Extended added extra options on top of ReVanced. Its developer has since joined the Morphe project, so its builds now continue as Morphe. See ReVanced Extended.
Is this the official ReVanced?
The ready-made APK here is built with the Morphe patches, made by former ReVanced developers, because the ReVanced team only publishes patches, not finished APKs. For the official version, patch YouTube yourself with ReVanced Manager — see the official route.
How do I update ReVanced?
Download the newest APK from this page and install it over the old one. Your settings stay.
