What is ReVanced MicroG?
YouTube ReVanced is a patched copy of YouTube. Google Play Services refuses to sign in apps that have been changed, so ReVanced needs its own login helper. ReVanced MicroG — now called GmsCore by the ReVanced team — is a free, open-source version of the parts of Play Services that ReVanced needs.
It is based on the microG project, installs as a separate app and only talks to ReVanced apps. Your other apps keep using the real Google Play Services.
Key features
- Google sign-in for YouTube ReVanced and ReVanced YouTube Music.
- Sync of subscriptions, playlists, history, likes and comments.
- Push notifications for new uploads from channels you follow.
- Lightweight — runs in the background and uses very little battery.
- Open source and maintained by the ReVanced team.
How to install ReVanced MicroG
- Download the MicroG APK from this page.
- Open the file. If asked, allow your browser or file manager to install unknown apps.
- Tap Install, then install YouTube ReVanced.
- Open ReVanced, tap the profile icon and sign in.
On Android 12 and newer, set Settings → Apps → MicroG → Battery to Unrestricted, otherwise you may be signed out after a while.
Huawei phones without Google services need the “hw” build from the official GmsCore releases.
