Step 1: Download the VidMate APK
Tap the download button on this page. Chrome shows a warning for every APK file that doesn’t come from the Play Store — tap Download anyway.
Step 2: Allow apps from unknown sources
Open the downloaded file. The first time, Android asks for permission: tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, then go back. On older Android versions, turn on Unknown sources in Settings → Security.
Step 3: Install and open VidMate
Tap Install. When it finishes, tap Open and allow access to photos and media so VidMate can save your downloads.
Troubleshooting
“App not installed”
Free up storage, uninstall any other VidMate copy first, and make sure the download finished completely (check the file size matches the one shown on this page).
Play Protect blocks the install
Tap More details → Install anyway. Play Protect warns about apps that aren’t on Google Play.
Downloads fail or stay at 0%
Update to the latest VidMate, check your connection, and try a lower quality. Sites change often; new builds fix most download errors.
Can’t find downloaded videos
Look under Me → Downloads in VidMate, or the VidMate/download folder in your file manager.
