What Is Revanced Manager
Revanced Manager enables you to patch some applications and get access to new features that are not availble to the normal app. This includes premium features too. In this guide, we will see how to download Reavanced Manager and patch Youtube. The process is mostly similar for any other app available in Revanced Manager. If you find this process complicated you can download the already patched app here. So let’s go.
Installing Revanced Manager and Patching Youtube.
This guide is for non-rooted devices but will work on rooted devices
You do not have to uninstall the stock YouTube app - just hide it or disable it otherwise it breaks ReVanced

- You may be prompted to give ReVanced Manager access to your storage, so say yes to this
- Select the YouTube APK you downloaded
- Tap Patch
Wait a while for YouTube ReVanced to build
Once it’s done, tap Install
You may get a warning saying the app install has been blocked by Play Protect
This is normal because the app is not from the Play Store and can be safely ignored by tapping More details then Install anyway
If the install failed, tap the save icon in the bottom left
Save the APK to your downloads folder
Open your file browser app of choice, find the APK and install it
Now open YouTube ReVanced
You should get a message telling you that MicroG is not installed and you will be redirected to download and install it
This is required for you to be able to log into your YouTube account
Open YouTube ReVanced again and you should now be able to follow the wizard to log in
If you don’t get a prompt for this, open the MicroG app and log into your YouTube account
Done!
My install failed
If you’re having difficulty with installing ReVanced, try a clean start
You can do this by uninstalling the following
ReVanced Manager

MicroG
Once you’ve cleaned everything out, follow the guide again from the top
If it still failed, check if you have enough storage on your phone (you need at least 2GB of free space for the manager to work)
Manager updates
The manager will light up the Update manager button when an update is available
Tapping this will download the update and prompt you to install it
If this fails, follow this link to the official manager APK
Download and install it
This will update your installed version
This should resolve your manager issues
YouTube ReVanced updates
OK so you’re patched and up to date, now what?
Check back in the manager for updates once a week or so
In the dashboard you can see when the manager and patches were updated
If these are newer than your installed version, you should update
Updating is the exact same process as installing, so just follow the guide again from the top
Just bear in mind that the YouTube version may change so you may need to download the new APK
If you have a GitHub account you can set up notifications for the patches repo to get emailed when there’s a new release.
