Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can’t find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn’t used to add live in your what’s new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .
I recommend using Newpipe’s own fdroid repo. You’ll get the updates much faster there when something breaks
Better yet, use Obtainium to “get Android app updates directly from the source. Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.”

This is the way.
And this is how to do it! https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
