NewPipe is an open-source YouTube client for Android that allows users to play YouTube videos without using the official YouTube app or a web browser. NewPipe is unique in that it does not rely on any Google Play Services, which means that it can be used on devices that don’t have access to them or have them disabled. This makes NewPipe a great alternative for users who value their privacy and want to use YouTube without giving Google access to their data.
One of the great things about NewPipe is that it is available on F-Droid, which is an app store for open-source Android apps. F-Droid is a great alternative to Google Play Store for users who value privacy and security, and it is a reliable source for downloading and updating open-source apps.
When using NewPipe, you will be able to watch videos, search for content, and subscribe to channels just like on the official YouTube app. Additionally, NewPipe allows users to download videos for offline viewing, play videos in the background, and use a built-in player to play videos without the need for a web browser. It also allows you to customize the video quality and the resolution, which is very handy when you have limited data or a slow internet connection.
Another feature that sets NewPipe apart from the official YouTube app is that it is not affected by regional restrictions or age restrictions. This means that users can access videos that may be blocked in their country. Newpipe also completely eliminates any of the usual YouTube advertising.
It’s important to note that some features like commenting and liking videos are not possible, since we’re not using any online accounts. However it is possible to create playlists, even watch later lists if you like.
Overall, NewPipe is a great alternative to the official YouTube app for users who value privacy and security. It is also a great option for users who want to access videos that may be blocked in their country. The fact that it’s available on F-Droid makes it easy to install and update, and it’s an open-source project, which gives users confidence in the security of their data.

This is amazing, very similar to Youtube Red but without the cost, I can download and watch anything without internet access.
