We’re happy to announce NewPipe 0.28.1, which polishes the user experience while quietly fixing a large number of long-standing bugs. This release comes with a new version of NewPipe Extractor (0.25.0) that fixes several issues with data extraction while also providing additional data to the app.
NewPipe is turning 10 :O
21 Oct 2025, by @theScrabi and @Poolitzer
Guess what?
NewPipe just turned 10 this month last month! Time just flew by.
In one moment you hit “new project”, and in the next there is a whole association, a group of maintainers, an uncountable amount of contributors, and millions of users!1
This is amazing. Last time we wrote about an important birthday, NewPipe had just turned five years old. Now it’s yet another five years later, and we still stand on the ground with both feet, running forward like there is no other direction!
NewPipe is 10 years old \o/, a double-digit digits number. Just… let that settle in for a moment.
