That’s the second time in 5 minutes I’ve seen the word revanced and I never heard of it before. What’s going on?
YouTube Revanced is a patched version of the YouTube APK, which disables a bunch of shit like ads and whatnot. Also ties into the SponsorBlock API, which is super nice.
It started as "YouTube Vanced", which was, as others said, "YouTube Advanced" minus the 'Ad'. Play on words. Haha. Looked and functioned like the original YouTube app, because it was. Just patched.
The original Vanced team did a stupid and launched an NFT, which ended up in them getting C&D'd by Google. There is some debate on this, but any idiot would know that google absolutely knew about Vanced for quite some time, but the team monetizing it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Anyway, Vanced was forked and became "ReVanced". They ended up building a whole patcher app and offered patches for other apps like Reddit is fun (RIP), TikTok, YouTube, and many more. To get rid of ads and the like.
Drama occurred within the Revanced team, so it was forked yet again into Morphe.
Thanks. That was an interesting read. Sounds like a great project that keeps having some silly people running it.
Honestly I just prefer PipePipe.
It's an Android app patcher that removes ads and adds some other quality of life patches. Primarily for YouTube but it supports several other apps as well.
On YouTube it also adds things like integrated SponsorBlock, extrapolating dislikes, actual resolution buttons, and the option to disable shorts.
Thanks. Any idea if there’s an iOS version?
There is not
It's for modifying applications to remove or add some features. Like removing adds and suggested content or giving users access to internal storage of apps. All patches should be listed on their website if you are curious what it can do.
It used to be just vanced, because it's advanced but without the ad. But that project died and became revanced.
