That's probably why it's on F-Droid

That is where I first ran into this app. Unfortunately the f-droid version is 0.15.1 while the current git release is 0.19.6.

I believe the F-Droid version is currently one patch behind. You can actually add https://archive.newpipe.net/fdroid/repo in F-Droid as a repository and you'll get the updates for NewPipe a lot faster.

I actually ended up going down a different route and created my own F-Droid repository for NewPipe and a couple other apps so I could get faster updates for them and I trust the upstream developers.

You might want to update your fdroid database or turn on "show beta versions" in the settings, as I see and have the v0.19.5 installed from fdroid.
