For those who are unclear on what ReVanced Manager actually does, this tool app allows Android users to add software patches that customize several popular apps beyond the options that are made available by the official operating system and app settings. Its primary utility is as an ad blocker. “We aim to provide ad-free patches to as many applications as possible,” the ReVanced website states. “We want users to have an annoying-free experience.” Two of its most popular applications are Revanced YouTube and RYT Music. These are modified apps that offer add blocking, and background playback capabilities while maintaining the original capabilities of the original applications that they’re based on.
It’s fairly easy to use too. According to the ReVanced website, once you have it downloaded, “All you need to do is select available patches for your desired app and proceed. It supports non-rooted and rooted devices officially.” This means that you will be able to take advantage of the patch modifications that have been made by other users, but it also means that you’ll be able to use the software’s interface to make your own modifications, thereby granting you even more control of the apps on your device. It’s easy to see why something like this can be tempting at a time when ads seem to be getting longer and more difficult to avoid, but is it safe to download on your phone?
