Troubleshooting
This is a collection of common errors and fixes.
4 YouTube Audio track menu is missing
Change to iPadOS in Settings > ReVanced > Miscellaneous > Spoof video streams.
If iPadOS does not work or buffers at 1 minute, then there currently is no solution.
5 Videos play with auto-dubbed audio translations
Enable Settings > ReVanced > Video > Force original audio language
If the spoof clients Android VR and visionOS do not work (Stats for nerds always shows "Android Studio"), then the original audio cannot be forced and currently there is no solution.
7 Stable volume is not available
Stable volume is not available when using Spoof video streams.
8 Childrens/music videos do not play and an error is shown
A YouTube account is required to play most childrens videos. Ensure you are logged into a YouTube account and incognito mode is not enabled.
15 App shows "No internet connection"
This issue can be caused if you recently changed your Google account password. Re-login into microG GmsCore, or uninstall then reinstall microG.
16 How to use the ReVanced Manager
Follow the official guide to learn how to use ReVanced Manager.
17 YouTube is crashing on startup or redirecting me to a page after applying patches
You might be missing microG GmsCore. Install it. Or you might be patching a split APK file (refer to 16).
18 YouTube Watch history is not being saved
If you use a system ad-blocker, then whitelist s.youtube.com. Otherwise check your YouTube/Google account permissions and ensure your account watch history is enabled.
19 The first Short opened has a delay before playback starts
Showing Shorts dislikes requires fetching dislikes before the first Short starts playing. This limitation only applies to the first Short opened and does not occur when swiping to other Shorts.
The only way to remove this delay is to turn off Settings > ReVanced > Return YouTube Dislike > Show dislikes on Shorts
20 The YouTube Shorts tab button on missing
Disable Settings > ReVanced> General > Navigation buttons > Hide Shorts button
21 ReVanced Manager is crashing/not working
ReVanced Manager is still a work in progress. Before submitting an issue, ensure it is not duplicating an existing issue.
22 Google login does not work
Use a username/password to log in. Some devices may require temporarily turning off 2 factor authentication.
23 Links don't open in a patched app
Follow this. The process may vary for your device. You may need to disable or uninstall the unpatched app that occupies the links to set them for the patched app.
27 Installation is blocked due to conflicting with an existing installation
This implies that you must remove the previous installation to solve the conflict.
This error can be caused by 'hidden' apps (Samsung Secure Folder, Android Work Profile, Xiaomi Hidden Apps, etc). If the same app is already installed but set hidden, then it needs to be unhidden and uninstalled before the patched app can be installed.
If patching YouTube and your device is not rooted, then ensure GmsCore support is included during patching and no patch failures occur.
28 SponsorBlock does not work
The servers of SponsorBlock are likely having issues right now. Review the current status of SponsorBlock.
30 Patched app does not work with Android Auto
Enable Android Auto developer mode, then enable "Unknown sources" in the Android Auto developer menu.
32 YouTube or YouTube Music playback does not work
Ensure you are using the latest patches. ReVanced Manager automatically updates its patches, but you still need to repatch each app if more recent patches exist.
Search for existing issues here because if there is a known issue there will be an open issue for it.
If videos on YouTube are instantly paused when you press the play button, then you must disable Picture in Picture due to an issue with your OS/YouTube.
33 Common issues during or after patching
You may have toggled settings in ReVanced Manager that are not recommended to change. Please review the warnings when adjusting these settings and reset them to their default configuration.
34 No ReVanced logo after patching YouTube
By default, the patch to change the logo of the YouTube app is not applied. Use the Custom branding patch to change the logo.
35 YouTube Shorts still not hidden
Use the Hide Shorts components and Navigation buttons patches to hide YouTube shorts. In the YouTube ReVanced settings, enable:
Shorts > Hide Shorts in feedGeneral > Navigation buttons > Hide Shorts button
