What you want from YouTube, line by line

Each need, and whether each option gives it
You wantYouTube app, no PremiumPatching it yourselfYour ReVanced build
Videos without adsNoYesYes

Sponsor segments skippedNoYesYes
Dislike count on every videoNoYesYes
A feed without the Shorts rowNoYesYes
Matched to your device, nothing to configureDoes not applyNoYes

Patching it yourself gets you the same patches: the difference is the steps you take. With Premium, YouTube drops the ads and plays in the background, and the rest stays as it ships.

How your build works

  1. 1

    Keep the patches you want. Pick from no ads, background playback, SponsorBlock, the dislike count and no Shorts shelf.

  2. 2

    Press the one button. No versions to match manually.

  3. 3

    The page builds for your device. It reads what you are on, then shows the finished build with its patches.

  4. 4
    Warning sign!

    Read this first. ReVanced is not made by YouTube or Google. A patched app asks you to trust whoever patched it, so read how privacy-minded users weigh it: Privacy Guides forum: is ReVanced safe?

    One quick check starts the install. After that, the build is ready.
