YouTube

Video for watching, searching, and sharing

YouTube is a video platform for people who want one place to watch clips, shows, music, news, tutorials, livestreams, and creator-made programming. It suits casual viewers as well as users who follow specific channels or return to particular subjects. The Android app is developed by Google LLC and is listed in the Video Players & Editors category.

Find something for the moment

The app combines search with a home feed shaped by viewing habits, making it useful both for planned searches and quick browsing. Viewers can follow channels, keep track of subscriptions, and return to videos they have already started. Its broad mix of subjects means it can serve as a learning tool, entertainment library, music player, or place to follow live coverage.

• Watch videos from a wide range of creators, publishers, and organizations.
• Search by topic, title, or channel when you know what you want.
• Use subscriptions and viewing history to keep regular content together.
• Watch short-form clips alongside longer videos and live content.

A platform for creators and communities

YouTube is not only a playback app. Eligible users can make and publish videos from mobile devices, while comments and live conversations give viewers ways to respond to creators. That combination makes the app useful for people building an audience, following a community, or simply taking part in discussions around a video.

Scale and user signal

The app has recorded 10,000,000,000+ installs and holds a supplied rating of 3.887391 from 168,613,771 ratings. Those figures reflect an enormous and varied user base, though the experience can differ depending on the channels, subjects, and viewing habits involved. For anyone seeking a general-purpose video service on Android, YouTube is a direct starting point with unusually broad coverage.
