And that’s how to install NewPiPe on Android phones. Now you can watch YouTube videos without ads. It supports subtitles, closed captions. That’s not all it can do, you can use it to watch videos in resolutions up to 4K. The app supports playing videos in the background for free. It has a pop-up mode which you can use to watch videos in a floating player (Picture-in-Picture) in other apps.
You can use NewPiPe to subscribe to channels without logging into your account, the app will display notifications for new videos that are uploaded to the channels. Want to create and use playlists without signing in to YouTube? You can do that too.
