Snaptube APKHow to Use Snaptube: Guides and Fixes
Snaptube is simple once you know its three tabs: Download is the search and the site list, Play holds everything you have saved, and Settings is where the download folder, language and VIP live. This page walks through a first download and then links to the step-by-step guides for each platform.
Your first download in Snaptube
In Snaptube 7.65.0 a download takes four taps: search or paste a link on the Download tab, tap the arrow beside a result, pick a Music or Video option in the sheet (the file size is shown for each), and tap Download. The file appears in the Play tab and in the snaptube folder.
Search or paste
On the Download tab, type a title in the Search to download bar, or paste a link copied from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok. Results show with a download arrow beside each one.
Pick a format
Tap the arrow. The sheet is split into Music (Fast and Classic MP3) and Video (Fast 360p, High quality 720p, and More formats for 1080p and above where the source offers it). The size of each option is shown before you commit.
Download
Tap Download. Progress shows in the notification shade if you allowed notifications, and in the Play tab either way.
Find and play the file
Open the Play tab to watch or listen inside Snaptube, or open Internal storage, snaptube in any file manager. MP3 files show up in other music apps too.
Step-by-step guides
Which format to choose
| Option in the sheet | What you get | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|
| Music: Fast | Audio in the source's native container, usually M4A | You want the smallest file and any player will do |
| Music: Classic MP3 | Converted MP3 | You need MP3 specifically, for a car stereo or an old player |
| Video: Fast (360p) | Small MP4 | Phone viewing on mobile data |
| Video: High quality (720p) | HD MP4 | Normal viewing; the best size-to-quality balance |
| More formats | 1080p, 2K, 4K and extra audio bitrates when available | Large screens, or archiving |
Common problems
- Download stays at 0% or fails immediately. Storage permission is missing. Android Settings, Apps, Snaptube, Permissions, allow Files and media (All files access on Android 11+).
- Stuck at converting. Happens on MP3 conversions of long videos. Wait for it to finish, or choose Music: Fast, which needs no conversion.
- No results for a site. Snaptube does not support every site. Paste the exact link rather than searching; if that also fails, the site is unsupported or has changed and the app needs an update. For sites Snaptube never covers, one of the alternatives may.
- The app asks to update constantly. Install the current build from the latest file. Updates fix site breakages.
- Videos not showing in the gallery. Snaptube saves to its own folder. Move files from Internal storage, snaptube, to DCIM or Movies with a file manager if you want them in the gallery app.
