Why is YouTube Vanced saying 'content not available'? Users think app is 'dead'
2023 might not be the best year for streaming apps. YouTube Vanced appears to be in the crosshairs after users were served the error message: “the following content is not available on this app”. As rumors calling Vanced ‘dead’ emerge, here’s why your app might not be working.
The third-party app, which allowed users to stream content ad-free, had previously announced that it was going to be discontinued after receiving a cease and desist letter from Google due to “legal reasons”.
Disappointed users have started looking for YouTube Vanced alternatives as they are convinced the video streaming app is “finally dead”.
YouTube Vanced users met with ‘content not available’ error message
YouTube Vance users from different parts of the world have taken to Twitter to confirm the fate of the third-party streaming app upon seeing the error message “The following content is not available on this app.” followed by another line: “Watch on the latest version of YouTube.”
You may be out of luck while trying to upgrade YouTube Vanced to its latest version because the team behind the app had confirmed that only the existing version would work until its discontinuation.
In a tweet shared on March 22, 2022, nearly a year ago, the company shared: “Currently installed versions will work just fine until they become outdated in 2 years or so.”
However, the exact timeline wasn’t revealed and many are under the assumption that the time has come to say goodbye to the Vanced, as it’s simply not working for them anymore.
