NewPipe adds Android Auto support, bringing YouTube to your car screen
- Android Auto still doesn’t support the official YouTube app, but NewPipe can now fill that gap.
- The update lets you access playlists, history, and search from your car’s screen.
- Of course, you’ll only be able to watch while parked.
Android Auto has always been pretty strict about what kinds of apps are allowed, but Google is starting to loosen up now, and NewPipe isn’t wasting any time. Thanks to the latest app update, the open-source YouTube alternative now works on your car’s infotainment screen.
In a blog post, the NewPipe team says you can now browse your watch history, load playlists, or search for new content within Android Auto. The developers still urge caution when using the feature, even though Google already has guardrails to prevent you from getting distracted as you’re cruising along.
