Many people ask me that how can we download Youtube videos on android as Youtube doesn't give us any option to download videos from the site or app. It might be a typical question for an android user because there isn't any app available on Google play by using which we can download videos from Youtube as it's against the Google terms. Still we cannot say it is impossible to download a video from Youtube on android. If we can download Youtube videos from some sites and plugins, then it should also be possible with android. The delighting answer is yes, it is possible and in this post I am gonna show you how it is possible.
Android App To Download Youtube Videos On Android:
There is an app named as TubeMate which makes it possible to download youtube videos on android smartphone and tablets easily. Basically Tubemate is a type of browser with an innate functionality of downloading any video which you view through this browser. So the fact is you can possibly download any online video on any site using Tubemate and this isn't confined to Youtube videos only. So it can be termed as a Total Video Downloader app for android.
Where To Get TubeMate APK For Android:
Now we would see that from where we can get this tubemate.apk which makes it possible to download online videos on android easily. The biggest problem is that this app is not available on Google Play store as Google cannot allow any service which allows user to download videos from youtube using its platforms. So we have to see somewhere else in order to find correct place to download tubemate.apk. So we can get the Tubemate.apk from its official website tubemate.net.
When you visit tubemate.net, you see a list of verified sites which are officially allowed by Tubemate to share its apk app. Though Tube Mate is available on other sites too but we recommend you to get it through official resources as you don't know if other sites are inserting malware into this most demanding app. Download the APK from any verified site and go to installation of this app.
How To Install TubeMate In Android:
After downloading, the step of installing the apk file begins. Here you have to open the apk file you just downloaded from official sites affiliated with tubemate. When you open the apk, you might get warning to " Allow Installation from Unknown Sources". There can be a further message that this type of file can harm your device but don't worry, if you have downloaded the apk from its official site there would be no harm but I can't guarantee if you download it from any other source. In your Android Security settings, allow installation from unknown resources. That option allows you to directly install all apps without installing them from Google play. After you have enabled unknown resources, app would be installed and you will be ready to browse through this app.
