Vanced Manager
Vanced Manager allows you to Install official YouTube Vanced, YT Music and MicroG.
Have you ever thought that the installation of YouTube Vanced would be easy to do in future? If yes, then you must be an absolute time traveller 😆. Now, APK installation on Android devices is a piece of cake irrespective of rooted and non-rooted smartphones with Vanced Manager. So, everyone, including basic users, can make use of this new project.
Many people around me were really annoyed after the official team released the .apks format since it requires a special procedure. Indeed, kind of a complicated process for non-technical users who want to get an ad-free YouTube experience without using any ad-blockers on their Android devices.
After hearing a lot of requests from the users, We, the Vanced Team, decided to provide some simple procedures to install the most popular YouTube Vanced on Android devices. However, in this new method, you should download Vanced Manager App to get rid of annoying errors and everything.
So, we finally managed to avoid installing Split APKs Installer (SAI) by bringing our all-new manager to cut down the steps. Well, let’s dive into the article.

What is Vanced Manager APK?
In simple words, Vanced Manager APK is designed to get rid of complicated procedures that are involved while installing YouTube Vanced. This is a similar concept to the Magisk Manager, which is made to flash Magisk Su updates without the need to visit custom recovery every time. Even we have taken libsu from Topjohnwu for rooted operations.
Why did we make this app? Because YouTube only distributes APKs format now, which has a collection of .apk files. In this way, they can make development quicker. So, forcefully we adopted the same as like official does. That made us adopt another app called SAI (Open-source project) for installation.
As you already know, this step taken by us is kind of frustrating to everyone as you need to perform some complex tasks despite the fact that the proven guides are published in our Reddit forum to know how the new method works. Yet, people fail to follow.
Well, that’s where we’ve got an idea of creating a Vanced Manager that could be the ultimate solution for all of our user needs. One can install updates, uninstall YouTube Vanced if you want to, update MicroG and more. It has some really useful features.

Download Vanced Manager APK Latest Version for Android
There are many third parties out there trying to publish our app by packing it into an APK file using SAP (Split APKs Packer). However, in this way, you can easily install them, but there might be hidden codes in them to break your privacy or steal your data. This is also one of the cases where we decided to provide an official solution.
Official Vanced Manager offers easy updates, a better user interface, a good user experience, and many more. Most importantly, you don’t need to visit unverified websites to download YouTube Vanced app. The latest manager will take care of everything.

The team behind Vanced:
The team of 4 Android enthusiasts from the XDA-developer forums has taken this project from the Master_T. However, the project is inspired by the iYTBP (Injected YouTube Background Playback) and is available for rooted as well as non-rooted users.
- ZaneZam (Publishing & Support)
- Razerman (Mods, Theming & Support)
- KevinX8 (Support)
- Laura Almeida (Theming & Support)
- Xinto (Manager Dev)
- Koopah (Shell God)
- AioLight (GitHub)
- Logan (UI)
- bhatVikrant (Website)
- bawm (Sponsorblock)
By the way, we ditched the Magisk Module as it requires disabling signature verification to install the app. Also, .apks is the major reason for that implemented by google on the official app. So, we are no longer supported the magisk module, and still, you can use the old version from the internet.

The Rooted method is more complicated than the above procedure as it requires disabling signature verification using Xposed Module or Lucky Patcher. If you have enough knowledge of this technical stuff, then you are welcome to perform.
The only advantage you will acquire with this method is; no need to install MicroG as YouTube Vanced can access your accounts with Google Services. Other than this, there is no difference.
