Frequently asked questions
General
What is Lynvio?
Lynvio is an Android web browser with a built-in ad blocker, a video downloader for supported websites, an offline video player and a PIN-protected Private Space. It is published by BestAndApp.
Is Lynvio free?
Yes. Lynvio is free to download from Google Play.
Which devices and Android versions are supported?
Lynvio runs on Android phones and tablets with Android 7.0 or later. It is not available for iPhone, iPad or desktop computers.
Which languages does Lynvio support?
The app and this website are available in 27 languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Hindi and Indonesian. On Android 13 and later you can choose a language just for Lynvio.
Downloads
Can Lynvio download videos from any website?
No. Lynvio can save many videos that play in the browser, but detection and downloads depend on the website and media format. DRM-protected videos and live streams are not supported, and you should only download content you have permission to save.
Why does the media button not appear?
Start playing the video first, because some sites only load it after playback begins. If the button still does not appear, the site may use DRM, a live stream or a format Lynvio cannot detect yet.
Can I pause and resume downloads?
Yes. Downloads can be paused, resumed, retried and renamed. An interrupted download continues from where it stopped when the server allows it, and expired links are refreshed automatically.
Where can I find my downloaded videos?
In the video library inside Lynvio. From there you can play, rename, share or delete files, open them in another player, or move them into Private Space.
Playback
Can I watch downloaded videos offline?
Yes. Downloaded files play from your device storage in the built-in player, with no connection needed.
Does Lynvio support background playback and picture-in-picture?
Yes. Videos can keep playing as audio when you leave the player, with controls in the notification, and both web videos and downloads can play in a picture-in-picture window on devices that support it. Files in Private Space never play in the background.
Which formats does the built-in player support?
MP4, WebM, MKV and M3U8 video, plus MP3, AAC, M4A, FLAC, OGG and WAV audio, with SRT, VTT and ASS subtitles.
Privacy and security
Does Lynvio collect my browsing history?
No. Lynvio uses Google Firebase for feature-usage statistics and crash reports, but these never include URLs, search terms, page titles or file names. Your history, bookmarks and downloads stay on your device.
Are files in Private Space encrypted?
No. Files are hidden in Lynvio's private storage under non-descriptive names and protected by your PIN, but their contents are not encrypted.
Is Lynvio a VPN? Does it hide my IP address?
No. Lynvio is a browser, not a VPN or proxy. Private tabs are not saved on your device, but websites and your network can still see your connection.
How can I ask for my data to be deleted?
Lynvio has no accounts, and your browsing data is stored only on your device. To delete analytics data linked to your app installation, contact us as described in the privacy policy.
