  You can also download and install Newpipe

  You can then subscribe to your favorite channels through that app without subscription and view videos without ads and even download the video or audio to your phone!

      Google breaks Newpipe regularly, and then Newpipe always fixes it very fast. Sometimes I’ve been unable to use it for about two days or so. Totally worth it to not support Google.

      Check for updates within the app itself. Those are more current than the app stores.

        Yeah, I know it sometimes breaks and I’ve accepted that. But holy shit google, alternative frontend’ users are like .001% of your total users, are you sure you want to spend ressources on us instead of doing other things…?

        So… I guess despite it’s name it doesn’t work based on Piped then? How does it work?

    Thats a much higher hurdle for a noob tho. You either need to install fdroid or get the apk for that.

        I get nothing, maybe because it’s a brand account attached to a Google account. It doesn’t even have a password and it won’t let me add one 😂😭
