How to update youtub on android

For the Android platform, a large number of applications were issued from different resources, including YouTube, which brings together all the functions of the website and containing unique features. Like any other installed software, youTube is periodically updated with those or other purposes. In the course of the article, we just talk about the procedure for installing new versions on the example of several ways.

YouTube Update on Android

Regardless of the YouTube update device, there are four main methods that fully complement each other with rare exceptions.

Method 1: Automatic Update

By default, each application that is installed from the Google Play Market will automatically receive all the necessary updates immediately when the new version is released, preventing the occurrence of problems and without requiring additional actions manually. The only conditions for the correct operation of this option is a stable Internet connection and the inclusion of the auto-updating function in the internal settings of the store.

1. Through the menu, open the "Google Play Market" and tap the menu icon in the upper left corner of the screen. Here you need to select the "Settings" section.



2. On the next page, find and use the "Auto-update" item and select the appropriate conditions in the pop-up window, depending on the type of connection used, whether "any network" or "only via Wi-Fi". To complete the link "Finish".

For the speedy use of Fresh Youtube Updates, you can try to restart the Internet connection and at least once to open the application. In the future, all the necessary corrections will be stably set at the release of new versions, while maintaining data on the work of YouTube.

Method 2: Google Play Market

In addition to the automatic update function of Google Play applications, the market allows you to install new versions manually through a special partition. This method will be an excellent option in cases where the Internet connection is limited by the volume of traffic, problems arise with updates or simply need to install a new version of YouTube, leaving other in constant condition.

1. In the same way, as before, open the "Google Play Market" and expand the main menu in the left corner of the screen. Here you need to choose the "My Applications and Games" section.



2. Click the "Update" tab and wait for the check of the installed components. If YouTube has not been updated to the latest version, the corresponding line appears in the list.



3. Click on the elder next to it to explore the list of changes made to the latest version. To install fresh fixes, use the "Update" or "Update All" button if you want to make it relevant to each of this list.



4. Alternatively, you can go directly to the YouTube page in the play markete and click the "Update" button. This will not affect the installation procedure, but it can be convenient under certain circumstances.

The Utube update procedure in this method, as well as the previous one, is the most recommended for use, since the application is probably coming from the official source and under any circumstances will not affect the operation of the Android device. In addition, it is Google Play Market that allows you to update applications based on the version of the operating system, which reduces compatibility.

Method 3: third-party stores

To date, in addition to the playing market for Android, there is a sufficiently large number of alternative stores, allowing the applications in the same way, while ignoring the regional and many other limitations of official sources. As an example, we will consider only one software for updating YouTube - APKPURE.

Loading and installation

1. Before you start updating YouTube, you need to make changes to the "Settings" of the phone. To do this, open the Safety section and enable the "Unknown Sources" option.
