It enhances the viewing experience by blocking ads, enabling background playback, and supporting picture-in-picture mode, making video streaming smoother and more flexible. One of its standout features is the ability to play audio with the screen turned off, allowing users to listen to music and podcasts without keeping their device active.
In addition to its ad-free experience, YouTube Vanced offers an AMOLED dark mode, optimizing both visual comfort and battery efficiency on OLED screens.
