@ -104,10 +104,10 @@ You can install NewPipe using one of the following methods:
We recommend method 1 for most users. APKs installed using method 1 or 2 are compatible with each other (meaning that if you installed NewPipe using either method 1 or 2, you can also update NewPipe using the other), but not with those installed using method 3. This is due to the same signing key (ours) being used for 1 and 2, but a different signing key (F-Droid's) being used for 3. Building a debug APK using method 4 excludes a key entirely. Signing keys help ensure that a user isn't tricked into installing a malicious update to an app. When using method 5, each APK is signed with a different random key supplied by GitHub Actions, so you cannot even update it. You will have to backup and restore the app data each time you wish to use a new APK.
In the meanwhile, if you want to switch sources for some reason (e.g. NewPipe's core functionality breaks and F-Droid doesn't have the latest update yet), we recommend following this procedure:
1. Back up your data via Settings > Content > Export Database so you keep your history, subscriptions, and playlists
1. Back up your data via Settings > Backup and Restore > Export Database so you keep your history, subscriptions, and playlists
2. Uninstall NewPipe
3. Download the APK from the new source and install it
4. Import the data from step 1 via Settings > Content > Import Database
4. Import the data from step 1 via Settings > Backup and Restore > Import Database
<b>Note: when you're importing a database into the official app, always make sure that it is the one you exported _from_ the official app. If you import a database exported from an APK other than the official app, it may break things. Such an action is unsupported, and you should only do so when you're absolutely certain you know what you're doing.</b>
