## Introduction

Hi, when we released Vanced 15.05.54, people were upset because it used the .apks format, which was burdensome to install than a traditional .apk file. Even though we wrote clear instructions on how to install the new Vanced build, people still couldn't figure it out.  

Then we thought, "why don't we make a manager for vanced, which will download, update and uninstall Vanced and MicroG, have an easy and user-freindly UI and be less than 10mb?" and that's how Vanced Manager was born.  
  
After 3 months of development, we are finally ready to Introduce [Vanced Manager](https://github.com/YTVanced/VancedManager) to the masses!!

## Features

- Vanced manager can easily install and uninstall Vanced and MicroG.
- It has various settings for customization and better experience. 
- The Manager comes with an easy-to-use Interface.
