This is the universal build of NewPipe (github version) 0.28.0. It contains native libraries for every CPU architecture (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64), so it installs on any Android device. The trade-off is size — it's larger than per-architecture variants. Pick this one if you're unsure which CPU your phone has, or if you plan to share the APK with multiple devices.

As you can see, NewPipe supports multiple video and audio services. Though it started off with YouTube, other people have added more services over the years, making NewPipe more and more versatile!
Partially due to circumstance, and partially due to its popularity, YouTube is the best supported out of these services. If you use or are familiar with any of these other services, please help us improve support for them! We're looking for maintainers for SoundCloud and PeerTube.
If you intend to add a new service, please get in touch with us first! Our
docs
provide more information on how a new service can be added to the app and to the
NewPipe Extractor
.
Description
NewPipe works by fetching the required data from the official API (e.g. PeerTube) of the service you're using. If the official API is restricted (e.g. YouTube) for our purposes, or is proprietary, the app parses the website or uses an internal API instead. This means that you don't need an account on any service to use NewPipe.
Also, since they are free and open source software, neither the app nor the Extractor use any proprietary libraries or frameworks, such as Google Play Services. This means you can use NewPipe on devices or custom ROMs that do not have Google apps installed.
Features
Watch videos at resolutions up to 4K
Listen to audio in the background, only loading the audio stream to save data
Popup mode (floating player, aka Picture-in-Picture)
Watch live streams
Show/hide subtitles/closed captions
Search videos and audios (on YouTube, you can specify the content language as well)
Enqueue videos (and optionally save them as local playlists)
Show/hide general information about videos (such as description and tags)
Show/hide next/related videos
Show/hide comments
Search videos, audios, channels, playlists and albums
Browse videos and audios within a channel
Subscribe to channels (yes, without logging into any account!)
Get notifications about new videos from channels you're subscribed to
Create and edit channel groups (for easier browsing and management)
Browse video feeds generated from your channel groups
View and search your watch history
Search and watch playlists (these are remote playlists, which means they're fetched from the service you're browsing)
Create and edit local playlists (these are created and saved within the app, and have nothing to do with any service)
Download videos/audios/subtitles (closed captions)
Open in Kodi
Watch/Block age-restricted material
Installation and updates
You can install NewPipe using one of the following methods:
Add our custom repo to F-Droid and install it from there. The instructions are here:
https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
Download the APK from
GitHub Releases
,
compare the signing key
and install it.
Update via F-Droid. This is the slowest method of getting updates, as F-Droid must recognize changes, build the APK itself, sign it, and then push the update to users.
Build a debug APK yourself. This is the fastest way to get new features on your device, but is much more complicated, so we recommend using one of the other methods.
If you're interested in a specific feature or bugfix provided in a Pull Request in this repo, you can also download its APK from within the PR. Read the PR description for instructions. The great thing about PR-specific APKs is that they're installed side-by-side the official app, so you don't have to worry about losing your data or messing anything up.
We recommend method 1 for most users. APKs installed using method 1 or 2 are compatible with each other (meaning that if you installed NewPipe using either method 1 or 2, you can also update NewPipe using the other), but not with those installed using method 3. This is due to the same signing key (ours) being used for 1 and 2, but a different signing key (F-Droid's) being used for 3. Building a debug APK using method 4 excludes a key entirely. Signing keys help ensure that a user isn't tricked into installing a malicious update to an app. When using method 5, each APK is signed with a different random key supplied by GitHub Actions, so you cannot even update it. You will have to backup and restore the app data each time you wish to use a new APK.
In the meanwhile, if you want to switch sources for some reason (e.g. NewPipe's core functionality breaks and F-Droid doesn't have the latest update yet), we recommend following this procedure:
Back up your data via Settings > Backup and Restore > Export Database so you keep your history, subscriptions, and playlists
Uninstall NewPipe
Download the APK from the new source and install it
Import the data from step 1 via Settings > Backup and Restore > Import Database
Note
When you're importing a database into the official app, always make sure that it is the one you exported
from
the official app. If you import a database exported from an APK other than the official app, it may break things. Such an action is unsupported, and you should only do so when you're absolutely certain you know what you're doing.
APK Info
This is the SHA fingerprint of NewPipe's signing key to verify downloaded APKs which are signed by us. The fingerprint is also available on
NewPipe's website
. This is relevant for method 2.

Frequently Asked Questions about NewPipe (github version) APK
This is the universal variant — a single APK that contains native libraries for every CPU architecture. It installs on any Android device but is larger than per-architecture variants.
Yes — the APK's signature has been cryptographically verified against the publisher's signing key. The SHA-256 hash is shown in the File Information panel so you can independently confirm the file matches the original release.
Android 21 (API level 33) or newer. Older devices will refuse the install.
Install a free app like 'CPU-Z' or 'Droid Hardware Info' from the Play Store and look at the ABI / Instruction Set row. Most phones made after 2017 are arm64-v8a; if in doubt, download the universal variant.
All variants are functionally identical — same features, same version. They differ only in which CPU architectures the native code is compiled for, and (sometimes) which screen densities the included graphics target. Pick the one that matches your device for the smallest install size, or pick 'Universal' if you're unsure.
