Searching for a VidMate APK download? There’s a faster and safer way to get VidMate on your phone: the red Install VidMate App button above. One tap puts VidMate on your home screen on Android, iPhone, iPad or PC, and it downloads YouTube in 1080p and MP3, plus TikTok without watermark, Instagram Reels with sound, Facebook, X and more. There’s no APK file to download and nothing to allow in your settings.

If you still install a VidMate APK from elsewhere
Some people want the original Android program. We don’t host or link to APK files, but if you download one yourself, protect your phone:
- File size and name: the file should end in
.apkand match the size the site states. Delete anything ending in.apk.zipor.exe. - Permissions: storage and network are normal for a downloader. Contacts, SMS, call logs or accessibility access are red flags; cancel the install.
- “Mod” or “premium” versions: avoid them. They are the most common source of adware.
- Afterwards: switch Install unknown apps off again for your browser in Settings › Apps.
Or skip all of that and install the VidMate app above.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Install VidMate App button do?
It adds VidMate to your home screen or app list. It opens in its own window like any app and downloads from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and every other supported site.
Is this the VidMate APK?
No. It is our VidMate web app, installed straight from your browser. There is no APK file to download, so there is no 'unknown apps' warning and no permissions to grant.
Does the VidMate app download YouTube videos?
Yes. YouTube videos and Shorts download as 1080p MP4, 480p MP4 or MP3, the same as on this website.
Does VidMate work on iPhone?
Yes. Open this page in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. The VidMate icon appears next to your other apps.
How big is the VidMate app?
Under 1 MB. It loads the downloader from our server, so it never fills your phone's storage.
How do I update the VidMate app?
You don't have to. It always opens the latest version, so new fixes reach you automatically.
Why don't you offer the VidMate APK file?
APK files from download sites can't be checked by us and need risky permissions. The VidMate app does the same job, including YouTube, without installing an unknown file.
