Need a demo of how to fix a punctured bike tyre or a quick exercise class to get your energy up before work? Maybe you’re after the latest music video from your favourite artist, or just want to see puppies being incredibly cute. It’s no exaggeration to say that the YouTube app has something for everyone.

What we love: The variety. You can enjoy content from the world’s biggest media brands, rewatch classic moments from your favourite films and shows and discover visionary creators sharing tutorials, reviews and more from their bedroom. It’s an incredible space for both established and emerging talent – and, of course, hilarious videos of cats.

Quick tip: Tap Shorts to see trending videos that will teach you something or make you laugh. The more you watch, the more the algorithm gets to know you and the better its suggestions for you become.
