NewPipe (unofficial port)

Free and lightweight YouTube frontend for Android

net.newpipe.NewPipe

**This is an unofficial and experimental Flatpak build based on Android Translation Layer. It is not assembled by TeamNewPipe, and it is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by TeamNewPipe. Please report bugs to the ATL bug tracker instead of the NewPipe bug tracker: https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/issues.**

NewPipe is a privacy-preserving YouTube frontend. NewPipe does not use any Google framework libraries, or the YouTube API. It only parses the website in order to gain the information it needs. Therefore this app can be used on devices without Google Services installed. Also, you don't need a YouTube account to use NewPipe, and it's FLOSS.

NewPipe currently supports these services:

YouTube and YouTube Music
PeerTube and all its instances
Bandcamp
SoundCloud
media.ccc.de

This release drops support for Android 5, see blogpost and #13438

Compose rewrite #13486 #13652

0.28.810 Jun 2026

This release fixes issues that were caused by YouTube enforcing its SABR protocol, except for videos made for kids due to a limitation of the workaround. Most notable were missing video resolutions, no separate audio stream available and the sole availability of MP4 360p stream with audio. This workaround is a community effort. Thanks to all the people involved! #13591

This release is shipped with NewPipe Extractor v0.26.3 which contains the mentioned workaround as well as a few other fixes, including no videos extracted on YouTube playlists and Bandcamp search returning no results.

0.28.723 May 2026

This is a small hotfix update to make YouTube usable again. It is necessary, because there were changes by YouTube.

NewPipe is able to extract items in channel tabs again thanks to @AudricV's and @Ecomont's efforts.
