Replying to myself: I gave up and installed the newest version, as I wasn;t sure if older one is fully compatible with Android 12. All working now. The only thing I have not tried with the old one, would be taking MicroG out of battery optimisation. Newest ver. asks for that so it's obvious. On the other hand I only had Vanced (MicroG being in) out of battery opt. on S7 and all notifications worked fine.

Maybe authors can put more light in here?

Just the opposite - works great on "Family Link" controlled devices. Me and my brother, we have Vanced on kids' phones. Only thing needed is unlocking the option to install from unknown sources, for the operation.

I you have problems with the Inst.Manager download .apk's manually. There is option for that on the website.

It's not the latest but the magisk module isn't officially supported any more.

Search this thread for magisk and you'll find later modules that users have built and made available.
[Android Apps and Games] pre.r:
Thanks, so should i install Vanced manager instead of magick module due to easier future update?
[Android Apps and Games] TioCareca:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
You can go either way. i5lee8bit has been keeping his mod that I linked you up-to-date in a fairly timely fashion. But of course he does it after Vanced releases their version. Both are fairly easy to update, in my opinion. Just depends on your preference.
[Android Apps and Games] pre.r:
i try it, but in doesnt work for me..dont know why

I have installed it throught magisk, restarted phone, youtube vanced is in magisk, but not in my phone apps

edit: i dont understand this step: - Install new version APKS via SAI.

SAI is Split APKs Installer? Why is that app needed? Why I can't install apks classic way?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
SAI = Split Application Installer

It's all described in the post (and Google is your friend to find/learn what is SAI and how to use) - but in such case you better use Vanced Manager and you won't have troubles like that

Unlike your ancient Vanced module you used previously, now Vanced replaces only the one, single file (base.apk) from the official YT bundle installation. For that reason you must first install (manually, if you want to use that module from the post) that particular official YT, that particular version, and as a split application (not a single YT apk file but the bundle of split apk files)

Only after that you install the module that will find your YT installation folder and will replace (actually mount) the base.apk patched by Vanced (only that single apk file, all the rest split apk files will remain as installed by the official YT)

If you didn't install the required split YT version first, the module is of no use

If you are not familiar with these things, better uninstall that module and use the Vanced Manager that will do all the job for you (it will download and install the split official YT first, then the Vanced script that to mount the patched base.apk over the official YT base.apk)

However, Vanced Manager does not install Vanced as a module - you will not see Vanced in the Magisk modules tab, but the technology (split official YT, mounting the patched base.apk by use of Magisk) is the same

Hey guys has anyone experienced that chatting on the new YouTube shared chat is in the same color as the background and can't be seen unless dark mode is switched off..when dark mode is switched off then the text color changes to black and can be seen, let me note that in both the normal mode and the dark mode the chat mode has the same background color, so it's just a text color problem. Check it out and let me know..I hope I'm making things clear.

How do i detatch the magisk repo version from playstore. The instructions are not clear.
[Android Apps and Games] lcrponte:
But nowadays is completely rubish... There's no respect for who's wasting plenty of their time writing a proper FAQ, always waiting for someone to do their own homework and if you try to straighten up someone, the only feedback that you get from them is that you're not answering what they want to know and therefore you should shut up. And these kind of people are the ones that makes me believe for a few seconds that violence, sometimes, is the answer. Then I come back to my zen state and proceed to one of this two solutions: ignore them or troll them.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
Yup, this is true [MENTION=4799079]lcrponte[/MENTION]. Also, when you start trolling, you hurt their feelings, then they are hurt and start saying you can't ask questions anymore on XDA and they supposed they can ask for help, etc.... But people forget this is not about asking stupid question on and on because they lack reading, rather this is a site where developers should share their work and people should help them make their product better. We should mutually work and encourage each other to be better, but not by spoonfeeding, rather by exploring/learning by ourselves and asking the right questions.

And again, thanks once more to the Dev's for letting us have a non ad YouTube experience with the possibility of background play.

What's the benefit of using vanced YouTube and YouTube music without magisk module compared to playstore versions?
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Main features:

Vanced

The official website of Vanced - a Video client for Android (Not affiliated with Google/YouTube).

vancedapp.com
[Android Apps and Games] klemi71:
I don't see benefits. Tell me.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
YT: Playing in background and behind the locked screen, no ads at the beginning, you can force higher resolutions

Maybe more but I 'use' those three features - root version

For root version it doesn't matter do you install via Vanced Manager or as a module (module provided through a post in this thread) - in both cases it ends up by mounting the same Vanced modified base.apk over the official YT base.apk (i e., it must be the same version of the official YT installed as a split/bundled application - if not familiar how to manually install bundled apps, use Vanced manager for simplicity)
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
You have already been told. read the section "Main Features". it cant be any clearer without physically holding your hand and reading it out to you.
[Android Apps and Games] klemi71:
Thanks a lot. Now the sense of module/root is clear.
[Android Apps and Games] Alaunus:
Ok, I have a rooted Samsung M21. I've been using the app for a while. The latest version. The moment I start watching videos, my battery drains FAST. And my phone is supposed to have 6000mAh battery.

Outside of watching anything, my battery drain is minimal. I don't have a pic of the battery usage but if very very noticeable compared to anything else I do. I think Twitch drains much less battery.

I can't seem to find a solution for that. Is there any?
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
Microg causes this issue sometimes.

Update it / downgrade it to see if it helps.

Of course clear cache / data for the app.

It is stated on FAQ that it is not possible to download videos, but the offline feature is working, and I can confirm it as I am using it.

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-mod-root-nonroot-youtube-vanced-edition.3758757/post-75772883

I forgot where I've read it, but it was said that download feature will not be available as it is a premium feature of the official youtube app. And, if this feature would be available in Vanced, Vanced would automatically be considered as warez, which may put the developers in trouble with YouTube.

There are other apps that can download videos from YouTube. Use that instead. In my case, I am using Snaptube, which has option as to which format you want to download, mp4 or mp3 plus it has option to download available resolutions you want.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Vanced is not on the playstore, for obvious reasons. The playstore is the standard android method of pushing updates. As for "in-app" updates, this is a mod of the existing apk not a full recompile from the proprietary source. And to be honest, I personally wait and watch whats happening on this thread before I venture out and install the bleeding edge update.

NINJAD! on the video download option...
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
Ah.

I have never used the root version.

Guess I learnt something new today.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
There could be literally hundereds of things going on. One very simple thing to check / discount would be to check the resolution you are viewing your videos at. If you are viewing at full 4K it will drive your CPU hard, thus draining your battery. Run some test at explicitly 480p for a comparison.
[Android Apps and Games] TioCareca:

It's a bit drastic but it's still a valid solution. Thing with root version issues is that you can always go for non-root as well. But if you're feeling adventurous you'll find the apk (bundle) files needed for manual install on APKMirror.
[Android Apps and Games] Slickone_:
In my Vanced Manager, it shows Latest and Installed as the same version, yet when I click the check for updates button (the circle arrows), it pops up with "youtube Vanced installation files detected" and asks if I want to install it. Why does it say that if I already have the latest installed?
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
It means the installation files are in its cache / temp memory.

Helpful if current installation gets corrupted, no need to re download the files.
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
I find non root suitable for my needs.

I use adb to disable YouTube original on a new install. Once done it doesn't interfere with Vance.

I must say, my use of YouTube in limited to playing various files in the background. I don't use any other features.

Hey YouTube Vanced Team,

Can you please make it possible, where upon opening the app, the default tab opened is library (or other options like a specific playlist, watch later, etc.)? I would love to have that feature, as I hate seeing recommendations from the pointless home tab and would instead, love to divert my focus upon the library tab, in which I have freedom of choosing videos, from the many playlists I have created.

Many thanks!

The last post by @Team Vanced was back in Jan 2020. And that was to ask the community for help with something very specific. I could be wrong, but I really don't think they come here to check for feature requests. And the post by them before that was back in 2018.
[Android Apps and Games] ASDFGHQWEZXC:

If it's true that these files are cached it should be enough to clean cache and maybe data of YT Vanced. Be aware that your settings may be resetted if you delete Vanced data.

Well there are some plugins out there that work (for now). This is of course not the priority here but I do agree, would be a nice-to-have. @Team Vanced does have a track history of adding in all the good stuff 🤩

Thing is, on December 13-ish Big G will revoke this value completely from the API so such plugins would rely heavily on its userbase. I just wouldn't expect this to be implemented into Vanced unless at least one of these plugins becomes a major success after API removal.
