<section>
<p>NewPipe works on Android Auto, as described <a href=" TODO ">here</a>! You will need to perform these manual steps to make it appear in the car interface (or you can take a look at <a href="https://youtu.be/BKeASJ52DUY">this video</a>):</p>
<ul>
<li>Go to the Android <b>system</b> settings</li>
<li>Navigate to <code>Connected devices > Connection preferences > Android Auto</code> (you can also find it by inserting <i>"Android Auto"</i> in the search box)</li>
<li>Scroll to the bottom until you find <i>"Version"</i></li>
<li>Click multiple times on <i>"Version"</i> to activate developer settings</li>
<li>Press <i>"OK"</i> in the activation dialog</li>
<li>After activation, click on the 3-dot menu in the top-right and go to <i>"Developer settings"</i></li>
<li>Scroll down until you find <i>"Unknown sources"</i> and tick the checkbox</li>
<li>Restart your phone</li>
<li>You should now be able to use NewPipe in the car interface!</li>
</ul>
<p><i>We remind you to use NewPipe on Android Auto only when it is safe: avoid getting distracted!</i></p>

<p>NewPipe supports Android phones and tablets, as well as TVs running Android/Google TV, and <a href="">cars with Android Auto.</a></p>

<p>NewPipe explicitly does not support Apple devices, whether iOS, macOS, or anything else. There are already good solutions available for those, such as the app <a href="https://github.com/yattee/yattee">Yattee</a>.</p>
<p>There are also OS-agnostic solutions available: websites such as <a href="https://invidious.io/">Invidious</a> and <a href="https://piped.video/">Piped</a>, as well as desktop apps like <a href="https://freetubeapp.io/">FreeTube</a>.</p>
