YouTube Vanced and Vanced Manager are enhanced versions of the standard YouTube app for Android, offering features like ad-blocking, background playback, and more.
However, users may encounter certain issues while using these applications.
Here’s a simple guide on common errors and how to fix them:
1. Installation Errors in Vanced Manager:
- Ensure you have the latest Vanced Manager installed.
- For rooted devices, use the Magisk icon in Vanced Manager to grant root permissions.
- Non-rooted users should follow the specific installation guide for their device type.
- If installation fails, clear the Vanced Manager’s cache and data, or reinstall the app.
2. Login Issues:
- Make sure MicroG (necessary for Google account login) is installed and updated.
- Clear cache and data for both YouTube Vanced and MicroG, or try reinstalling MicroG.
3. Video Playback Errors:

- If the app crashes while buying items, it’s likely due to MicroG. Use the original YouTube app for purchases.

5. Making YouTube Vanced Default App:
