FAQ
Installation, updates, permissions and common fixes.
How do I install the APK?
- Download the APK from the Download section above.
- Open it on your phone and allow installs from your browser or file manager when Android asks.
- Tap Install, then turn that permission back off if you like.
How do I update PixelMusic?
Download the newer APK from this page and install it over the existing app. Your data is kept as long as the new APK is signed with the same key as the old one.
Which permissions does it ask for, and why?
Media/audio access to find and play local music, notifications for playback controls, and internet access for YouTube Music and online features. The exact list is in the app's manifest in the source repository.
YouTube Music won't sign in or play. What can I try?
Update Android System WebView and Chrome from Google Play, then clear the web data from PixelMusic's settings and sign in again. If it still fails, open an issue with your Android version and what you saw.
My local songs or lyrics are missing.
Check that media permission is granted, that the folder isn't blacklisted in the library settings, and rescan the library. Lyrics files need to be .lrc files next to the song.

Policies & Compliance
How PixelMusic handles YouTube Music, your data, and use of the app.
YouTube Music & WebView Policy
PixelMusic opens YouTube Music in an Android WebView. When you sign in, browse or play content, that activity is handled by Google under Google's terms and privacy policies.
1. Sign-in
Sign-in happens on the YouTube Music website shown inside PixelMusic's WebView, and Google processes your authentication. PixelMusic does not provide its own Google password form.
2. What Google handles and what stays on your device
- Handled by Google: account activity such as playback history, liked songs and recommendations, according to your Google account settings.
- Stored on your device: WebView cookies and session data that keep you signed in, plus your local library index and app settings.
- Network requests: sign-in, browsing and playback requests go to YouTube Music and its supporting services.
3. Signing out and clearing data
Sign out in YouTube Music, or clear the WebView data in PixelMusic's settings where available. Clearing data on your device removes locally stored session information but does not delete activity already saved to your Google account. Manage connected devices and account activity in your Google Account settings.
4. Third-party policies
- Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy
- YouTube Terms of Service: youtube.com/t/terms

When you use YouTube Music or other online sources inside the app, those services receive the requests needed to work and process them under their own policies. See the YouTube Music Policy tab for details.
3. Permissions
