Now, it is recommending users to uninstall the “harmful” Vanced Manager app. Google Play Protect is basically an antivirus of sorts built into Google Play services itself that evaluates installed apps on your phone to see if they’re a threat to the phone’s security or not. Vanced Manager is “harmful”Ī few users on Reddithave started sharing screenshots of their phones receiving a Google Play Protect notification identifying the Vanced Manager as a harmful app. However, the latest nail in the series of nails in the coffin is perhaps the biggest one yet, and one that suggests that the app might break much sooner than expected. I personally haven’t had an issue with YouTube Vanced installed on multiple devices at home but people have started to see some glitches and weird bugs here and there, signifying the end-of-life status of the app. Even though the Vanced project had shut down due to legal pressure from Google, the app itself did not suddenly go out of order and was actually expected to work for up to 2 years, according to the developers of Vanced itself. YouTube Vanced officially s hut down its operations on Maand left the world with a message that basically told them to make the best use of these last precious moments.
