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. 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. 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. Read the PR description for instructions.

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.

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. 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.

Download the APK from GitHub Releases and install it.

Add our custom repo to F-Droid and install it from there.

You can install NewPipe using one of the following methods:

Download videos/audios/subtitles (closed captions).

Create and edit local playlists (these are created and saved within the app, and have nothing to do with any service).

Search and watch playlists (these are remote playlists, which means they're fetched from the service you're browsing).

Browse video feeds generated from your channel groups.

Create and edit channel groups (for easier browsing and management).

Get notifications about new videos from channels you're subscribed to.Subscribe to channels (yes, without logging into any account!).Browse videos and audios within a channel.Search videos, audios, channels, playlists and albums.Show/hide general information about videos (such as description and tags).Enqueue videos (and optionally save them as local playlists).Search videos and audios (on YouTube, you can specify the content language as well).
