What a shame it would be if this drove more people into using those awful cracked versions of the Spotify apk that give you most of the premium features without a premium account. Truly the godless heathens over at xManager (https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager) must be rejoicing over this.
Cheers, I knew about ReVanced but this is a new one for me
might have something to do with their motto "don't make us popular"
Real shame.
In terms of privacy is xManager safe? When I downloaded it I was faced with an ad which seems sketchy for a GPL licensed application.
Been using it for years. The ad thing is recent but it's safe. They have to make money somehow and it was only an ad when I was downloading the app off of their updater. After that the actual Spotify app is add free.
You can also turn off the ad in the manager via a toggle.
This wants me to download TikTok...
If I were to use this, would I use a Spotify login/password with it? I'm not clear if this app allows you to save playlists and favorites, etc.
It builds a custom spotify apk that you install. Except for the parts it cganges, expect it to be the same, logging in included.
