NewPipe does not require a Google account or any login to use most of its features. It is designed to allow you to watch YouTube videos, listen to music, and enjoy content without needing to sign in. This is one of the app’s core features, prioritizing privacy and offering a more independent, ad-free experience.
However, NewPipe does offer the option to subscribe to channels and manage your subscriptions locally (without logging in to a Google account). Here’s how you can subscribe and manage channels:
Subscribing to Channels in NewPipe:
- Open NewPipe on your device.
- Browse or search for the channel or video you want to subscribe to.
- Tap the Subscribe button (usually represented by a bell icon) under the video or on the channel page.
- The subscription will be saved locally in NewPipe, so you can access it anytime without needing to sign in to a Google account.
If you want to sync subscriptions across devices, you would need a Google account. However, NewPipe is designed for privacy, so it keeps everything local without requiring sign-in.
