Editor Reviews

Google LLC publishes YouTube, the official Android app for its video platform. It covers everything from music videos and gaming to beauty, news and learning, and it doubles as a place for anyone to upload their own videos or go live.

The Home tab offers personal recommendations, Subscriptions shows new uploads from followed channels, and the Library keeps watched, liked and saved videos. An Explore section highlights trending topics and rising creators in selected countries. Creators keep in touch through posts, stories, premieres and live streams, and viewers can join in through comments. Anyone can record or upload videos directly from the phone and stream live to an audience. Families can choose the separate YouTube Kids app or a parent-supervised experience. In some countries, fans can buy channel memberships for perks and a loyalty badge, while YouTube Premium removes ads, allows background and screen-off playback, offers downloads for offline viewing and includes YouTube Music Premium.

YouTube has 10,000,000,000+ installs and a 3.8 average from 171,948,493 ratings. The split is stark: 62% five stars against 21% one star. It is ad-supported, and in-app purchases span $0.05 to $999.99 per item. It was updated on 2026-09-23, the Android requirement varies with device and it is rated Teen. We list 151 versions; the newest, 21.35.442, is 194.0 MB.

For almost anyone who watches online video it is hard to avoid. Viewers who dislike frequent ads will need to weigh the cost of Premium, and one in five raters has left a one-star score.

Frequently asked questions

01 Is YouTube free?

Yes. YouTube is listed as free on Google Play and offers in-app purchases ($0.05 - $999.99 per item); it also shows ads.

02 Which Android version does YouTube need?

The current release requires Android Varies with device. If your device is older, one of the 145 earlier versions listed above may still install.

03 How do I install the APK?

Download the file from the version page, open it on your Android device and allow installs from this source when prompted. XAPK bundles need the APKPure app or a split-APK installer (see the install guide in the footer). Always prefer the latest version unless you specifically need an older build.

04 Is the download safe?

Files come from our download library or external sources and are not modified by us. Check the package name (com.google.android.youtube) and developer before installing.

05 How do I get my account back?

Accounts belong to the developer's own service, not to this site. Use the sign-in recovery option inside YouTube, or contact Google LLC through the support address listed on Google Play.

06 How do I cancel a subscription?

Subscriptions bought through Google Play are managed in the Play Store under Payments and subscriptions; purchases made inside the app follow the developer's own billing.

07 Can I get a refund?

Appmello never charges for downloads, so there is nothing to refund here. Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Google Play or by the developer. Never enter payment details on any page claiming to be a download step.

08 How do I use YouTube?

Open the app after installing; it works exactly like the Play Store build. For feature questions see the developer's help pages, as Appmello only distributes the installer.
