YouTube Vanced, which can be called the YouTube artifact in the minds of many people, has given many people great “convenience” in a free way. It can not only block ads but also get the function of floating playback of picture-in-picture windows without subscribing. Not surprisingly, however, I eventually encountered “due to legal reasons” and could no longer continue to serve.

YouTube Vanced was forced to be removed due to regulatory issues, so… can it still be used?
Because some of the main features are consistent with YouTube Premium paid subscription projects. It is quite surprising that such an application can last for so long before being shut down by the authorities with “legal threats”.
In short, the developer of this three-party playback application that can block ads and provide advanced YouTube features recently revealed the news that YouTube Vanced will be discontinued through Vanced Offical’s social account. The download link will be removed in the next few days. According to the news received by foreign media, the reason is that Google has filed legal action against the YouTube Vanced development team.
According to reports, Google has officially sent a “cease and desist letter” to YouTube Vanced. The purpose of this document is exactly as its name suggests, which is to force developers to stop distributing and developing such applications. The YouTube Vanced team is also asked to remove all references to YouTube, change the logo, and remove all links to YouTube products.
Although there are indeed illegal and controversial functions related to the rights and interests of subscribed users. But in fact, YouTube Vanced still has many thoughtful theme functions, etc., so it is loved by many users – that is to say, it is really annoying that the new version of YouTube requires many steps to set the image quality, and it does make people want to seek a better third-party application experience(The default high quality is 480p. Hello?)。
As for existing users who should be very concerned about it, can they still be used? Such questions. According to the YouTube Vanced development team, although the download URL and update development will no longer be provided, the current version is confirmed to continue to operate for about two years – of course, this is without accidents, after all, it will not be updated again.
Currently installed versions will work just fine, until they become outdated in 2 years or so.

The YouTube Vanced team also said on Twitter that it understands that such a result is not what users want to see, but this move is still imperative. And we are very grateful to users for their support over the past few years.
It has to be said that it is not an accident that YouTube Vanced was officially targeted. If you really like the paid function, I still recommend youPay for your subscription the legal wayget. But when it comes to a better player experience, it may still be worthy of official reflection on whether these needs should be met as much as possible in addition to charging.
I believe most people won’t consider itThird-party applicationsAlready?
