YouTube Vanced (or simply Vanced, formerly iYTBP) was a modified third-party YouTube application for Android with a built-in ad blocker.[2][3] Other features of the app included SponsorBlock, background play, free picture-in-picture (PiP), an AMOLED black theme, swipe control for brightness and volume, and implementation of the Return YouTube Dislike browser extension.[2][3][4][5][6] Modified versions of YouTube Music and MicroG were also developed.[2][7]
The name Vanced originates from the word advanced but with ad removed, in reference to the software's ad blocking features.[8]
On March 13, 2022, the developers of YouTube Vanced announced that the application would be shut down after they received a cease and desist letter from Google, which forced the developers to stop developing and distributing the app.[2][3][7][9][10][11] The app continued to function for remaining users until late April 2023, when the core playback feature of YouTube Vanced was rendered nonfunctional without any further updates.[12][13] After the discontinuation of YouTube Vanced, similar applications, such as ReVanced, emerged as replacements.[14]
In late March 2024, Vanced MicroG was also rendered nonfunctional to all ReVanced users who still used it, prompting users to use the latest version of the app.[15]
