NewPipe Is an Ad-Free, Privacy-Respecting YouTube App for Android

YouTube's Android app is criticized for its cluttered interface, sluggish performance, and excessive ads, while also raising privacy concerns due to tracking user activity. NewPipe is a free, open-source alternative that prioritizes user privacy and removes ads. It allows background audio playback, picture-in-picture mode, and offline video downloads without requiring a YouTube Premium subscription. However, users cannot sign in with a Google account, limiting access to existing subscriptions and personalized recommendations. NewPipe enables manual subscription additions, bookmarking, and supports exporting/importing subscriptions and playlists. It is not available on the Google Play Store, requiring users to download the .apk file or use F-Droid for installation.

Android 15 has a cool trick to save my ‘storage full’ 128GB Pixel

Google's Pixel series smartphones, including the latest Pixel 9, have a base storage of 128GB. Android 15 introduces an "app archiving" feature that allows users to temporarily remove apps without losing data, enabling easier management of storage. Users can manually archive apps by tapping and holding the app icon, selecting the info icon, and choosing Archive. Additionally, users can set apps to automatically archive when storage is low by enabling "Manage app if unused." Archived apps can be restored by tapping their icon with a cloud download overlay. For devices not running Android 15, users can still archive apps through the Google Play Store by enabling the automatic archiving feature in settings.
