Is there a non-root version of YouTube Vanced for Asus RoG Phone II? I'm not going to root it again after I fully converted my CN phone to WW.

      Its funny seeing how the Android users here dont use their android to their full potential. Paying for YouTube Premium? Just get YouTube Vanced. Dont criticize ios when you dont even use your own android features

              I mean, it could be good for iphone users. They get to taste a bit of android features on their phone.
              Now apple needs a split screen multitask to take advantage of their devices which are getting bigger.

                Now let's see if Google will make the Picture-in-Picture feature on the YouTube app actually free with this... Well done, Apple. Well done.

                    AnonD-893029, 22 Jun 2020Looks to be a great update. Can’t wait for the droid crowd ... moreThat cannot be helped as they do have a point. If it wasn't due to Jobs' stance on multitasking we would have gotten multiwindow a long time ago. Dunno how ios users back then put up with freezing/restarting apps as simple as an egg timer when put into the background.

                    Even android took until Marshmallow to put one out but Samsung already had one on the galaxy s2 with the popup window.

                      Meh ios update for me.

                      I will not use widgets on my iphone, just like how I don't put any widgets on my android.

                      Picture in Picture is a great start, but google disables youtube PiP unless you pay youtube premium for it.

                      App library is pretty useless as I organized my folders already

                                  Android user here. But I'm not gonna say they copied Android and it had all the features blah blah. Apple has their own ways of doing things, even if they implement something late, it's completely baked unlike most of the android's feature which take 2-3 updated to completely mature. Take Android 9 gestures for example. They were better than 3 buttons but still not as good as IOS gestures. But in Android 10 they were also polished and refined. It's not about what you get first. You also need to consider the quality and how it would be implemented in to the system
