Google forcefully shuts down the YouTube Vanced utility by bringing up legal threats on the utility.

The saga began when Google sent the legal notices to the creators of the Vanced project.

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.

Google has directly sent the legal notices that comprise the cease and desist letter for the Vanced creators.

The YouTube Vanced program featured an ad-free experience, pip mode, and proper black theme.
