Vanced is an upgraded version of YouTube with many features including adblocking and background playback. This is an Android based mobile application. YouTube Vanced was formerly known as iYTBP (injected YouTube Background Playback) developed by Master_T who is a Senior Developer to XDA - Developer Forums. He added all Xposed module features into original YouTube APK and developed iYTBP - injected YouTube Background Playback. Due to delay in Xposed for Nougat development release, Master_T decided to create the modified application including all the features had on Xposed Module. XDA forum has been discontinued iYTBP (injected YouTube Background Playback) application.
Master_T has included all features from the Xposed module to original YouTube application. Vanced APK can be installed into Root and Non-Root devices. Some developers have taken over this iYTBP application, rebranded it as "Vanced " and they are continuing Vanced Application developments alongside with Official YouTube Application updates.
All the versions of Vanced have similar features. But Non-root has a bit different. Unless you install MicroG Package, Google Play Services won't play along. This application is very popular in the Android community because it has many features that you won't find in the Official YouTube Application on GooglePlay.
Built-in Adblocker: Ads are an important part of online publications and creations. If you are watching a video on YouTube, It will be a hassle to watch ads during video play. You can toggle this feature from enable to disable anytime in this application.

As you heard, YouTube has a premium paid version called "YouTube Red" with ads-free, hassle-free video watching with many features that will not available for users who use the free YouTube version. Anyway, this YouTube Red version only available for certain countries. Whether you pay or not sometimes you can get the experience of this version.
In this situation, the Android community has come across with an Android Application that will give you many features that will be not allowed on YouTube. This application is "YouTube (Ad)Vanced", Advanced version of YouTube that will give you many more features. This Application is developed and maintained by XDA Developers.
The featured YouTube Vanced download available for any rooted or non-rooted smart devices. All the versions included the same features and you should check the compatibility first before installing the tool. The recently unleashed Android mobiles what inbuilt x64 architecture chipset or the previously released x32 based chipset installed devices are ready to power with the Vanced APK. You have to install MicroG additionally to log in the Google Play Service successfully. Use Magisk to root the system correctly (optional).
YouTube Vanced apk version can be installed into both rooted and non-rooted Android devices. Anyway, there will be a possibility that this application may not work in non-rooted devices if the device already has the YouTube App. Original application should be removed from the device before install YouTube Vanced APK.
Many android devices have default YouTube App that will come with the operating system. And these default applications cannot be removed unless you root the device. If the device does not allow to uninstall the YouTube App completely, you can disable and uninstall all the updates instead.
YouTube default App can be removed using ADB (Android Development Bundle). This method allows to uninstall default applications, but you need to have some knowledge about ADB.
Another main step is to install MicroG. This installation will allow the user to use Sign-in features in the Vanced App.
TWRP Manager is a root application that allows the user to backup, restore and install recovery.
For users who choose Magisk installation are having multiple ways to do the installation process.
These clarifications might be needed for the users who will use the settings.sh during the installation process.
XDA Developers who working on Vanced are still improving this App for giving the user the best output. Generally, YouTube Vanced download doesn't offer any major bugs, Because these developers already improved the application with fewer issues.
Anyway, this application will give the best experience for the users with a less interrupted process. This will be much more advanced than the official YouTube App. Because YouTube Vanced APK will give the user privileges that won't be given by the YouTube for free users.
This App does not include TWRP (Android-based recovery tool). You must install TWRP on the rooted android device before flashing Vanced installer on your rooted android device.
You can't download videos through the Vanced App. XDA Developers are already developing that feature and this feature will available on upcoming releases.
We should give special thank to XDA Developer Master_T for developing this amazing android app with amazing features.
And also we must thank YouTube Vanced developers who have improved iYTBP version with new features.
