Quick Fixes
- Clear app cache (Settings → Apps → YouTube Vanced → Clear Cache)
- Try a different network (WiFi vs mobile data)
- Lower video quality manually
- Check if the official YouTube app has the same issue (rules out network problems)
Why Buffering Happens
Since Vanced is discontinued, YouTube's video delivery changes can cause buffering in old versions. This is often a permanent issue without a real fix path. Consider switching to ReVanced or another alternative.
