5 Modded Youtube APKs: Block Ads, Download Videos and more

YouTube is the largest video sharing website with lots of content. But still, YouTube doesn’t give many basic features like repeat option, background playback and it is still not friendly for music lovers.

You can get many missing features in Youtube by using Modded Youtube APKs. There are plenty of them but only a few of them can replace the official Youtube app.

In this post, I will show you 3 best Modded Youtube APKs which give all useful and essential features.

Best Modded Youtube APKs: Download Videos, Block Ads, Background Playback

Youtube Vanced

Youtube Vanced is a complete Youtube app with all essential and useful features which are missing in the official Youtube app.

It was started as Xposed Module “Youtube background Playback” (iYTBP) which plays the Youtube videos in the background. Then it was converted into Youtube Vanced which is a Modded Youtube app with all features inbuilt.

The UX is the same as the Youtube app. Apart from a custom Logo, the whole app is the same as the official Youtube app.

Some of the best features of Youtube Vacned are Background Playback, PiP, Repeat Video, and Adblocker. And if you listen to music on Youtube then these features are pure gold for you.

Here is the List of complete features of Youtube Vanced features:

Blocks all YouTube ADs
Background playback feature
Force VP9(or HDR) or vice versa
Override Max Resolution
Pinch to Zoom on all devices
Casting togglable
Togglable Theme (White/Dark/Black)
PiP (Oreo Only)
Video window new or old style
Repeat video feature
Preferred Resolution & Speed feature
Swipe controls for Volume and Brightness

How to install Youtube Vanced:

There are 3 ways to install the app: For Non-rooted Device, For Rooted Device by TWRP and By Installing a Magisk Module

To Install on Youtube Vanced on the Non-rooted device: Download and Install the Youtube Vanced and MicroG

Download MicroG

For Rooted Device, We prefer Using Magisk Manager or use the Non-rooted method

To Install by using Magisk, Go into the Magisk Manager -> Downloads -> Youtube Vanced. After Installation, Restart the Device.

Ymusic

If you use Youtube to listen to Songs then this app is for you. Ymusic only loads the Audio of a Video and it can play it in the Background.

Ymusic is based Jockey music player which makes it a Lightweight Media player with the Material Design. The Interface is Customization with a lot of Colors to choose from.

You can also download the Audio or Video. There is a section for Trending Video in your Region.

Here are the Features of Ymusic:

Play YouTube video in the background
Download YouTube Videos in variety formats: mp3, opus, WebM, mp4 etc.
Search music video
Browse trending music videos
Based on Jockey Media Player
Auto download album art
Last.fm integration for retrieving artist images and descriptions
Smart Playlists with fully customizable rules
Equalizer
Gapless playback
Home screen widgets

OGYoutube

Download OGYoutube

OGYoutube is the most feature rich app on this list. There are many useful features like Video Downloads, Block Ads, Background play, Subtitles Download and more.

The reason that OGYoutube is not at the top of this list is that of its UX. The interface of OGYoutube doesn’t look and feel polished. The Download buttons and overall interface just fail to impress. The app is not Updated since May 2017 and it still gives the old Youtube Interface.

Although OGYoutube allows you to Download videos which Youtube Vanced lacks, I still prefer YouTube Vanced over OGYoutube because of its cleaner Interface and Fast Updates.

Here is the list of features of OGYoutube:

Multiple Video Downloads
Background Playback & Popup Window
Play all qualities
You can download only the Audio of a Video
Subtitles Download
Seek Controls (Position, Volume, Brightness)

And more
