More control. Fewer interruptions.

ReVanced Extended changes the parts of YouTube that get in the way, without replacing the app you already know.

Block video and feed ads

Remove ads from the home feed and the video player for continuous viewing. Ad controls live in the patched client and can be adjusted in the app settings.

Skip sponsored segments

SponsorBlock can automatically skip sponsored segments, intros, outros, self-promotion, reminders and other community-marked sections. Every category is configured separately.

Restore dislike counts

Return YouTube Dislike adds community-estimated dislike counts back to videos: a useful signal for tutorials, reviews, news clips and product comparisons.

Take control of Shorts

Hide the Shorts button, shelf, comments, remix controls and more. On supported builds, Shorts can also open in the regular video player.

Upgrade the player

Set custom playback speeds, save preferred quality, improve the seekbar, add swipe brightness and volume, control captions, open in fullscreen and fine-tune player buttons.

Keep playback running

Background playback removes common restrictions when the screen is off or another app is open. Supported builds also control picture-in-picture and keep playback preferences.

Clean up the interface

Hide navigation items, promotional shelves, buttons, overlays and popups. Choose a layout that keeps what matters and removes the rest.

Customize the look

Use pure black, Material You, light, dark and custom themes. Supported patches change the app name, icon, header, navigation labels and selected colors.

Improve link privacy

Strip tracking parameters from shared links, bypass redirect URLs, open links in an external browser and use the Android system share sheet.

Built for real Android workflows

Three kinds of user, three paths, without forcing everyone through the same installation process.

For users who want it to work

The non-root APK path keeps setup direct. Install MicroG RE, install the app, sign in and adjust the ReVanced Extended settings. No command line, bootloader changes or desktop patching.

For rooted power users

The module path integrates with Magisk or KernelSU and can manage the compatible stock package automatically. Zygisk Detach is recommended when the Play Store tries to overwrite the installed version.

For users who want full control

Morphe patches the original app locally on the device. Simple mode favors reliable defaults; Expert mode exposes 100+ patches with per-patch options, signing, import/export and troubleshooting.

Install ReVanced Extended on Android

1

Install MicroG RE

It provides the Google authentication layer non-root builds rely on. Android may ask for permission to install from your browser or file manager.

2

Download the APK

Choose the latest stable YouTube or YouTube Music build. Avoid unrelated mirrors and repackaged files.

3

Install the APK

Open the file and approve the Android prompt. The patched app installs under its own package on supported non-root builds.

4

Sign in and configure

Open the app, sign in through MicroG RE, then open the ReVanced Extended / Morphe settings and enable only what you need.

5

Prevent bad updates

Don’t let the Play Store replace the patched package with an unsupported stock version. Update behavior can vary by build.

Root module

For Magisk or KernelSU users who want native package behavior.

  1. Confirm Magisk or KernelSU is installed and working.
  2. Download the latest module package below.
  3. Install the module from local storage in your root manager.
  4. Reboot the device.
  5. Open YouTube or YouTube Music and configure the patches.
  6. Use Zygisk Detach when needed to stop Play Store updates.

Build it yourself with Morphe

Patch the original app locally; the original APK and your data are never uploaded.

  1. Install Morphe on Android.
  2. Select YouTube, YouTube Music or another supported app.
  3. Choose Simple mode for defaults or Expert mode for full control.
  4. Provide the compatible original APK when prompted.
  5. Select patches and configure the available options.
  6. Patch locally and install the generated APK.

Before updating: always use the latest compatible release and read the changelog first. YouTube changes often, and a newer stock app version is not automatically compatible with the current patch set.

From ReVanced Extended to Morphe

ReVanced Extended began as inotia00’s feature-focused fork of ReVanced, expanding the patch set and giving Android users much finer control over YouTube and YouTube Music. The original RVX patches were an open-source project, not a company or closed publisher. In March 2026 that repository was archived and Morphe was recommended as the long-term successor, keeping the core idea intact: modify the app transparently, expose meaningful controls and let you choose between a direct build and a fully customizable patching workflow.

Open source by design

The patcher, patches, MicroG RE integration and build scripts are publicly inspectable. Open source doesn’t make every binary automatically trustworthy, so the safer standard is simple:

Download only from release links connected to the published project repositories. Avoid renamed mirrors and files on unrelated upload services. Check the release date, package name and listed dependencies before installing. Keep MicroG RE, the patcher and your app builds updated together. Treat unsupported or experimental versions as test software.

Frequently asked questions

What is ReVanced Extended?

ReVanced Extended is an Android modification project for YouTube and YouTube Music. It adds advanced playback controls, ad blocking, SponsorBlock integration, interface customization, privacy options, Shorts controls, background playback and many other features not available in the standard apps. The familiar YouTube and YouTube Music interfaces stay intact, while extra settings let you configure the experience around your own viewing and listening preferences.

Is ReVanced Extended a company?

No. ReVanced Extended is an open-source software project rather than a commercial company. It began as a feature-focused fork of ReVanced and has been developed through public repositories, community contributions and automated build systems. It does not operate as a subscription streaming service and does not own YouTube, YouTube Music or their content.

Who created ReVanced Extended?

ReVanced Extended was created by inotia00 as an expanded fork of the original ReVanced project, with a broader patch collection and more detailed customization. The original ReVanced Extended patch repository has since been archived, and current builds use Morphe patches and related components developed to continue the project’s core functionality.

What is Morphe, and how is it related to ReVanced Extended?

Morphe is the current successor to the original ReVanced Extended patching platform. It continues the same general approach of applying configurable patches to supported Android apps, while expanding compatibility, customization and patch management. Current ReVanced Extended builds may use Morphe patches even where the ReVanced Extended name is kept for product continuity and recognition.

Which download should most users choose?

Most users should choose the non-root ReVanced Extended YouTube APK and install MicroG RE first. This option needs no unlocked bootloader, Magisk, KernelSU or desktop computer, and is the most direct path to account sign-in, subscriptions, playlists, history and the main features. Root modules and Morphe are intended for users who need deeper integration or more control over the build.

Does ReVanced Extended require root access?

No. ReVanced Extended supports both non-root and rooted devices. Non-root users install a separate patched APK together with MicroG RE. Root users can install a Magisk or KernelSU module for deeper integration and behavior closer to the stock package. Rooting a device solely to use ReVanced Extended is unnecessary for most people.

What is MicroG RE, and why is it required?

MicroG RE provides the Google authentication services needed by non-root patched apps, so you can sign in and access subscriptions, playlists, history and recommendations. It does not replace the full Google Play Services installation; it works as a companion component. It is generally not required when a compatible root installation method is used.

Is ReVanced Extended safe to install?

No third-party Android package should be called automatically safe. Open-source code and automated builds improve transparency but do not remove every supply-chain or distribution risk. Use builds linked through the recognized project repositories and branded release pages, and avoid renamed APKs, unofficial mirrors and shortened links. Before installing, confirm the app name, package name, release date and the required MicroG and YouTube versions.

Is ReVanced Extended free?

Yes. ReVanced Extended, its patches and the main supporting tools are distributed as open-source software with no required subscription. YouTube Premium is a separate commercial service operated by YouTube; ReVanced Extended is not a Premium subscription, includes no paid account benefits and is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

What is the difference between ReVanced and ReVanced Extended?

ReVanced provides the underlying patching concept and a general collection of patches. ReVanced Extended was created as a more feature-intensive fork with additional customization, more granular interface controls and a stronger focus on YouTube and YouTube Music. Standard ReVanced favors a more conservative feature set, while ReVanced Extended and Morphe provide more detailed control over appearance, playback, navigation, Shorts, privacy and player behavior.

Can ReVanced Extended download videos or music?

ReVanced Extended can connect to supported external downloader apps such as Seal, NewPipe or YTDLnis when the relevant patch is enabled. The patched app does not necessarily include a full downloader by itself; it can pass a link to an installed downloader. Only download content where permitted by the copyright holder, the service terms and your local law.

Can a Google account be used with ReVanced Extended?

Yes. Account sign-in is supported on compatible non-root builds through MicroG RE. Root builds may use the device’s existing Google services depending on the installation method. You can also use ReVanced Extended without signing in, or with a separate account. Using a modified client always carries some platform-level risk, and no independent project can guarantee Google will never change its policies.

How should ReVanced Extended be updated?

Download a newer compatible build and install it over the existing app when the package name and signing key are unchanged. MicroG RE, Morphe and root modules may need separate updates. Don’t assume the newest stock YouTube version is supported: patches target specific app versions, and an incompatible version can cause failures, crashes or missing settings. Root users may also need Zygisk Detach to stop the Play Store replacing the required version.

Does ReVanced Extended work on iPhone, iPad, desktop or smart TVs?

ReVanced Extended is designed for Android. APK files cannot be installed on iPhone or iPad, and Android root modules cannot be used on iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux or most smart TV platforms. Some unrelated iOS apps offer similar features but are separate projects. Android TV compatibility depends on the app, architecture, Android version, input method and selected patches.

Where do the downloads on this site point?

Every download button links to the official project release files. Nothing is repackaged, wrapped in a custom installer or modified. This is an independent site that makes the genuine builds easy to find; bugs and feature requests for the project itself belong with the official repository linked on the About page.
