Why YSK: Spotify forces you either to pay, listen to ads or to find unofficial, potentially dangerous versions to use it. It’s better to find a free alternative, both for your wallet and for your peace of mind.

      I’d paste the R*ddit post but…

      So basically you rebuild the YouTube app using revanced manager.

      1. Make sure you nuke YouTube from your phone.
      2. Download YouTube apk from apkmirror (don’t install yet)
      3. Download and install from revanced.app
      4. Patcher -> select the YT apk. Patch as recommended and install
      5. Download, install and login from microG.org (basically an emulator for Google play services)
      6. ???
      7. Realise you can do the same for ad-free R*ddit, twitter, Instagram apps

      It’s ad free version of YouTube for Android.

      I set up revanced about a week ago. First download revanced manager. This app will apply patch to a existing an YouTube app installed in your phone.

      Revanced manager only works up to a certain YouTube version, and it will tell you the latest version it supports. So if you have latest YouTube it won’t work. To rollback YouTube updates, I uninstalled all the updates from YouTube, downloaded YouTube APK with version supported by revanced manager, and installed this version.

      Then use revanced manay to apply patch. You might one more app, but you will be prompted, follow instructions.
