        Are you still using the microg version? There is a new version that uses another patch. You’ll have to go to Reddit for the instructions on how to install that

          You dont have to go to shiddit

          There is a revanced discord that has all of the latest updates

            Then you should switch to the new GmsCore method, fixed it for me

              Does the gms version suck down battery % like microg does?

                I haven’t really noticed any battery drain with either to be honest

          See that’s my problem with revanced - it’s this constant cycle of “It stopped working again. Time to go through another manual update process. Oh, that broke it even worse. Maybe if I remove my Google account, then re-add it. Do I also need to update some other piece it depends on? Cool, let’s do that. Yay, it works!” Then a week later it all starts again.

          I moved on to NewPipe and it’s been great. I basically never have to think about it.

            Newpipe is for android?

            And I have only had to update revanced once in the year I’ve been using it…

              I recently switched to Grayjay (which still exists and is updated) to put my YT and Odysee sub’s in one place, but before that I had been using NewPipe on my Android phones for years. I still have it side loaded on my Kindle Fire tablet.
