Another popular way to get to use YouTube Premium for free is through YouTube Vanced. The Youtube Vanced app was first launched a few years ago. Though its popularity increased immensely in recent times. YouTube Vanced was a modded version of the YouTube app which provided users with YouTube Premium-like features for free. The app got banned recently by Google due to “legal reasons” and had to be removed.

A new version of the same has now come up called YouTube Revanced. Before you consider using this method there are a few important words of caution that we would like to share with you:

Important things to know before using the YouTube Revanced app:

• YouTube Revanced comes in the grey legal area

• Downloading APK files from untrusted sources can come with the risk of installing additional harmful files

• Modded apps and APK files may also have attached risks of data privacy

• Using the YouTube Revanced app currently is not completely illegal. However, Google may anytime terminate a user’s account if used against the terms and conditions.

How to download YouTube Revanced app and use YouTube Premium free?

• Visit the YouTube Revanced website at - https://revanced.net/

• Download the YouTube Revanced App from the website

• Open the file in your preferred web browser

• Go to your phone’s settings to “Allow to download files from unknown sources”

• Download the Microg APK file

• Open the downloaded APK file

Note that the steps may differ from rooted devices to non-rooted devices. I downloaded the YouTube Revanced app myself to check if YouTube Revanced is working or not.

After using it myself, I can confirm that YouTube Revanced is currently working as of April 2023.
