Use an independent Android client for compatible media services.
Before you download
LibreTube is not Google’s official app. Playback may depend on external services and client settings; an available APK does not guarantee every video works.
Get started
Review the project’s settings and privacy information. Try simple playback before importing a large library or changing all preferences.
Keep your data when updating
Export subscriptions or local data where supported and review import options before changing versions.
Use the original distribution channel where possible. Compare the package and edition before replacing an installation. A different signature or an older version can prevent an update; do not uninstall or clear data as the first troubleshooting step.
If installation or playback does not work
Record playback errors and check project issues. Distinguish service failures from package errors; reinstalling may not fix the former.
Check the Android requirements and architecture shown above. Open the downloaded APK on your own Android device, read its notices and keep system protections enabled. Review any temporary browser installation permission afterward.
LibreTube FAQs
Is this YouTube Premium?
No. It is an independent client and does not activate a service subscription. Check the project’s functions and limits.
Why can it install but fail to play?
There may be an external service or client configuration issue. Consult the project with the exact error before deleting local data.
How do I choose the correct APK?
Check the minimum Android version and the architecture supported by the installed operating system. ARM64 means arm64-v8a; ARM32 means armeabi-v7a. A 64-bit chip does not prove that the installed system supports ARM64. Use the file picker, or the publisher’s store if available.
Can I update an installation from another source?
Check its package, edition and source first. A different signing key can prevent an update. Back up important data and consult the publisher before switching channels; do not uninstall or erase data as the first troubleshooting step.
