🧩 Patching applications

The following pages will guide you through using ReVanced Manager to patch applications.

🪜 Steps to patch applications

  1. Navigate to the Patcher tab from the bottom navigation bar
  2. Tap on the Select an application card
  3. Choose an application to patch1

    Note

    : The application version suggested by ReVanced Manager is visible in each application's card. This is important in step 5. below, as most patches are compatible with this version.

  4. Tap on the Select patches card and select the patches you want to apply2

    Warning

    : If you see a warning icon next to a patch, it means that the patch is not compatible with the application version you selected in step 3. above. In this case, you should either go back and select a different application version or deselect the patch.

  5. Tap on the Done button to confirm your selection
  6. Tap on the Patch button to start patching

    Warning

    : The patching process can take anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes depending on your device. Refrain from exiting ReVanced Manager while the process is still running, otherwise the patching time will increase significantly.

  7. After patching is complete, tap on the Install button to install the patched application

    Note

    : If you have root access on your device, you may have the option to mount the patched application on top of the original application.3 Optionally, you may tap on the three vertical dots in the top right to export the patched application to storage.
