I saw recently several posts and comments on the web about that NewPipe has ads and/or tracking in it. It is false, you simply downloaded an unofficial and modified version of the app (which probably violates on the fly the license of our app, GPL version 3), which so has been tampered with. NewPipe doesn’t contain in-app ads and doesn’t track you.

Download only NewPipe from official sources, which are:

  • our website (which redirects you to the sources listed above):
  • our GitHub releases:
  • our F-Droid custom repository:
  • the official F-Droid repository (which builds the app from its source code):

Additional installation instructions and/or incompatibilities can be found on the app readme and/or in the sources itself.

Other download places are not official and shouldn’t be used.

If you see copycats, please help us to find them by reporting them to us (if they aren’t already of course):

If you see copycats on the app stores, please report them (or at least try to) to the stores: for the Google Play Store, use the instructions in this Google Play support page (reporting process requires a Google account: ).
