Following a legal threat from Google, the popular Vanced YouTube software will be withdrawn. Vanced's founders have announced that the project would be shut down in the next days, with all download links withdrawn. While the app will continue to work for those who have it loaded on Android, it is expected to stop running at some point in the near future if there are no more updates. The Vanced owners claim they were forced to abandon the project "for legal reasons."
Vanced's owner received a cease and desist letter from Google lately, forcing the developers to stop distributing and developing the software. "We were requested to remove all references to 'YouTube,' replace the logo, and erase any links to YouTube products," a Vanced admin explains.

Vanced has been discontinued. In the coming days, the download links on the website will be taken down. We know this is not something you wanted to hear but it's something we need to do. Thank you all for supporting us over the years.
About Vanced
Vanced is a popular Android third-party YouTube app that allows users to disable all video advertising on YouTube without having to pay for a Premium subscription. Vanced also features customizations not available in the original YouTube for Android app, such as a pure black theme.
Vanced is the most recent victim of Google's crackdown on third-party YouTube apps. Last year, Google-owned YouTube took down two popular Discord music bots before launching a test of ad-supported YouTube integration in Discord just weeks later. The popular Discord music bots Rythm and Groovy also evaded advertisements, allowing Discord members to listen to music together.
A Telegram message from the Vanced owners states, "Vanced has been discontinued." "We understand that this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's something we have to do." We've contacted Google for comment on the cancellation of Vanced, and we'll keep you updated.
"VANCED PROJECT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED"
Vanced is no longer available. The download links will be removed in the following days. For the time being, the Discord server, Telegram chat, and subreddit will be available. We understand that this is not what you wanted to hear, but we had no choice. We appreciate all of your support over the years.
- The current version will continue to function.
- It was done for legal reasons.
