About YouTube
Although you will most likely find the YouTube app for Android installed by default on almost any device you use, you will have no problem installing the APK whenever needed. You just need to download YouTube from Uptodown to open, in a matter of seconds, an excellent platform where you'll have millions of videos at your fingertips. You can even easily register to upload your own content so that other users can subscribe to your channel.
Although you can also enjoy YouTube Music, with the YouTube app, you have easy access to millions of music videos from the tool's search engine. Simply visit the channels of your favorite artists to enjoy the hits of the moment or even those songs you love from years ago. What's more, you can always turn on the subtitles to enjoy each song's lyrics and improvise your karaoke session.
On YouTube, you just have to tap on the little bell button to subscribe to the channels you are most interested in. Subscribing allows you to receive notifications every time a content creator, who you have previously watched, uploads a new video or "short". Similarly, if you create a channel, you can also gain an audience with your own videos to try to increase both views and revenue.
The YouTube video player makes it easy to adapt the playback conditions to your needs. For example, from the options section, you can quickly select the image quality or manage the subtitles. As a bonus, the tool lets you use the Chromecast function to wirelessly transmit content to your TV.
To watch YouTube without ads on Android, you must pay for a premium subscription. This membership not only allows you to enjoy ad-free content. The paid version of the platform also offers offline and background playback, so you can, for example, listen to music while checking other apps or locking the screen.
