Just installed ReVanced. Sanity check, please.

Question/Problem

Edit: well don't I look like a damn fool. Revanced.net is not an official site. I'll uninstall and use the official site on github.

Got the Manager and MicroG apks and install instructions from revanced.net: https://revanced.net/

Installed MicroG. Installed ReVanced Manager.

I did not get the manager app as expected (from watching some manager videos) but instead the fully installed ReVanced app, v17.43.36

In fact the manager app does not show in my apps list only "Youtube Revanced.net" which is the ReVanced app.

I also have an installed official Youtube app, v16.10.34

ReVanced appears to work fine but what I expected to happen was:

  • a manager app would be installed and when I opened it I would see if my current Youtube install was compatible (if not I would change versions)
  • I would then select the patches required
  • the manager would patch the installed Youtube app and I would have ReVanced

Have I missed a major update or am I using some other install procedure?

You downloaded it from a fake website.

The only official one is https://revanced.app (which currently redirects to the GitHub repository).
