General

What is Tube AIO?

Tube AIO is a premium Android downloader for videos and music you have the right to download — in HD/4K quality or MP3 — from 1000+ websites, plus a built-in catalog of thousands of movies, for your own personal viewing and listening.

Is Tube AIO premium?

Yes — Tube AIO is a premium product with dedicated support and regular updates, and no account is required for core downloading. The app may show third-party ads, which have their own privacy policies.

Is Tube AIO safe to install?

The APK is published directly on tubeaio.com and requests only the permissions it needs (storage, network, optional notifications). Because it is sideloaded instead of coming from the Play Store, Android will show a standard “unknown apps” prompt — that is normal. Always download from tubeaio.com, never from random mirrors.

Which devices are supported?

Any Android phone or tablet running Android 11.0 or newer. The current release is (v2026.09.18). No root is required.

Is Tube AIO related to Snaptube or Vidmate?

No. Tube AIO is an independent alternative built for users looking for a fast, private, premium downloader. Snaptube and Vidmate are separate products with their own terms.

Download & install

Where do I download the APK?

Right here on this site — the Download APK buttons point to the latest release (v2026.09.18) hosted on tubeaio.com. The file is served straight from /apk/ on this domain.

Android says “Install blocked” — what do I do?

This is Android’s standard protection for sideloaded apps. Open Settings when prompted and allow “Install unknown apps” for the browser you downloaded with, then tap the APK file again. See the Install in 3 steps guide on the homepage.

How do I update to a new version?

Download the new APK from tubeaio.com and install it over the existing app — your settings stay intact. Release notes are published with each version.

How big is the app?

Tube AIO is lightweight by design — a few tens of megabytes. Downloaded media goes to your device gallery or the folder you choose, so keep some free storage for large HD/4K files.

Features & usage

Which sites are supported?

1000+ sites including YT, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Vimeo, and Dailymotion — via the built-in browser or by pasting a link. Site layouts change often, so if one link fails, try another to isolate it and report the failing URL to us.

What qualities and formats can I pick?

From data-saving 144p up to full HD/4K where the source offers it, plus MP3 audio extraction in one tap. Available options always depend on what the source website provides.

Does background play work with the screen off?

Yes — enable background playback and audio keeps playing with the screen off. If your phone kills it, exempt Tube AIO from battery optimization in Android Settings.

My download is slow or keeps failing. What helps?

Check your connection (switch Wi-Fi/mobile data), free up storage, pause other big downloads, and retry. For a single failing link, test a different video from the same site — if only one fails, send us that URL plus your app version.

Where are my downloaded files?

In your device gallery (Videos/Music) or the custom folder you chose in the app’s settings. Use any file manager to move, rename, or share them.

Account & sync

Do I need an account?

No. Core downloading works with zero personal data. An optional account exists only to sync your own data (e.g. preferences, queue metadata) across your devices.

What sync data do you hold, and is it shared?

Only your login identifier, the data you choose to sync, and technical sync metadata. It is used solely to operate sync and is never shared or sold. Details are in the Privacy Policy.

How do I delete my data or account?

Delete on-device files in the app or file manager anytime. To remove the server-side sync copy, clear sync in the app or email us for full account deletion.

Privacy & security

What personal data do you collect?

By default, none — no name, email, location, contacts, or tracking identifiers, and your browsing and download history stays on your device. Optional sync and anonymous crash reports are the only exceptions, described in the Privacy Policy.

Why does the app show ads?

The premium app may show ads from independent advertising partners with their own privacy policies and terms. You can limit personalization in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.

Which permissions does the app need, and why?

Storage/media (to save files), network (to fetch content you choose), plus optional notifications and background execution for progress and playback. You can review or revoke them in Android Settings → Apps → Tube AIO → Permissions.

Is Tube AIO suitable for children?

The Service is not directed to children under 13. Downloading decisions and these Terms should be handled by a parent or guardian for younger users.

Legal

Can I download any video I find?

Only content you own, that is licensed for download, in the public domain, or shared with the creator’s permission. You are responsible for respecting copyrights and each platform’s own terms — downloading may violate them even where technically possible.

Does Tube AIO host any videos or music?

No. The app is only a technical bridge between you and publicly available web resources. We host no content ourselves.

How do I report copyright infringement?

Email us with ownership proof, a description of the work, exact locations, and your contact details, as described in the Terms and Conditions (Section V.2). We review notices and act on technical measures within our control.

Troubleshooting

The app crashes on launch. What now?

Restart your phone, update to the latest APK, and clear the app cache (Settings → Apps → Tube AIO → Storage → Clear cache — this keeps downloads). If it persists, email us your device model, Android version, and app version.

Downloaded video has no sound / won’t play.

Try a different quality or MP4 format, then test the file in another player (e.g. VLC) to isolate a codec issue. Send us the source link and chosen quality if it reproduces.

I can’t find my downloaded file.

Check the gallery’s Videos/Music albums and the download folder set in the app. Some launchers hide new files until a media rescan — opening the file manager usually triggers it.

Notifications or background playback stop.

Android battery optimization is the usual cause. Set Tube AIO to “Unrestricted” under Settings → Battery, and re-enable notifications under App info.

Still need help?
