On a post with a YouTube link we can open in the default browser, or copy the link, then open NewPipe, search for the pasted link and then see the video.
Can we get a ‘share the link’ instead of the ‘copy link’ .
In any case, thank you for the great app, and thank you for all the effort and care you’ve put into this.
So my Android phone has new pipe set as the default to hand all YT links in the settings, however the baked in yt app always takes over and I can’t seem to stop this… I don’t think it can be forced easily.
I don’t have this problem personally with Android anymore, though I did while on the stock ROM. Nowadays I have Vanced installed in Insular with NewPipe on my personal profile and YouTube links default to NewPipe!
Could be worth trying to disable the built-in YouTube app using ADB commands then installing NewPipe (and Vanced in an Insular profile if you need functions such as casting) if you you don’t mind putting in 10-15 minutes work to do so, I can’t 100% guarantee that it’ll work with every phone and version of Android though!
What if you remove the YouTube app
You can’t remove YT in a log of official Android ROMs as it’s backed in, not can you disable it…
ADB will let you remove it. Did it to my Pixel
Some manufacturers won’t let you
Even if you can’t uninstall it you can usually “disable” it with the same effect in settings somewhere (that’s what I did on my phone, I’m using revanced now)
You can always use ADB.
ADB was the route I was thinking
That’s how I took care of it too https://bbbhltz.codeberg.page/2023/05/on-debloating-android-phones/
