Do a search and see if it has already been reported Check that the bug is actually a Vanced bug and doesn't happen in the original YouTube.

Steps to do when reporting a bug

Make sure you are being enough descriptive of the problem. Take a logcat (Google search if you don't know how). Especially if the issue is a crash. Taking pictures of the problem doesn't hurt. If the report is vaque (missing information) it will most likely just be ignored. If you are not going to show any effort in resolving the problem, why should I?

A.White is included in both versions choose the alternate theme you prefer for night time etc.A. Just download the latest apk and install as you previously did before.A. No!A. Only the non root version.A. No (and you never will)! but the official YouTube Offline Video feature is working in Supported countries.A. We release 2 Unified builds of non root, one with the stock youtube theme and another with an amoled friendly theme. 8 root apks are provided, all of which are nodpi variants as google has become very aggressive in pushing updates that the only way to avoid it is using some form of detaching.A. You did not use the latest magisk version or installer. This only applied for Oreo.A. Yes! It works on the rooted version but not in the non-root since the package name is changed. However, there is an alternative new Pinch to Zoom feature with basically the same functionality.A. Yes! Make sure you whitelist *s.youtube.com in your adblocker. And non-root users need to check that they are not using a brand account due to MicroG bug. If you are, you need to merge the accounts to get the history working ( YouTube Settings ) Merging process will clean the current history.A. Yes on Oreo Only!A. Usually within a couple of days after the official apk is available in apkmirror. But please don't ask for ETA!A. No, it does not. After going into background playback, you will only download audio so there will be much less data usage.A. For time being, use this workaround here
