YouTube ReVanced is an enhanced version of the official YouTube app for Android, developed by the Open-Source community. It provides users with a wide array of features not available in the standard app, including ad-blocking, background playback, and extensive customization options.

ReVanced aims to improve the overall YouTube experience by offering more control over the app's appearance and functionality, while maintaining the core features of YouTube. It's designed for users who want a more tailored, ad-free YouTube experience with additional capabilities.

Features:

• Ad-free Video Playback: Completely removes all types of ads (including banner, in-video, and pop-up), allowing uninterrupted viewing.
• Background and Minimized Playback: Lets videos continue playing when the app is minimized or screen is off, ideal for music, podcasts, or multitasking.
• SponsorBlock Integration: Automatically skips sponsored sections in videos such as intros, paid promotions, and outros based on crowd-sourced data.
• Customizable UI Elements and Themes: Offers dark, AMOLED, and custom themes. You can also hide buttons like Shorts, Cast, Comments, etc., for a clean interface.
• Return YouTube Dislike Functionality: Restores the dislike count on videos, helping you judge video quality based on user feedback.
• Swipe Controls: Allows intuitive touch gestures on the screen to control volume and brightness during video playback.
• Enhanced Video Quality Options: Set preferred default video quality for Wi-Fi and mobile data separately and lock it to avoid YouTube’s auto-switching behavior.
• Hide Various UI Components: Customize the interface by hiding distracting or unnecessary elements like end screens, comments, or video info sections.
• Custom Playback Speeds and Remember Speed Settings: Choose from a wide range of playback speeds and let the app remember your preferred speed.
• Download Functionality through External Apps: While ReVanced itself doesn’t support downloading videos, it allows integration with third-party tools for downloading YouTube content.
