News Synopsis

YouTube is testing a new feature Smart Downloads, that will allow the users to enjoy videos without a data connection. It will automatically download videos when Android devices are connected to Wi-Fi.

The feature is available for a limited number of subscribers until February 14 as an experimental feature. This feature will only work on the latest versions of Android. The new feature will allow downloading 20 recommended videos per week. Users without enough storage will be notified to download the 20 videos for a week.

The platform is also introducing the Listening Controls feature for Premium users on Android and iOS.  It gives the users additional controls while listening to music on the platform. It also allows the users to play, pause, forward and even rewind videos. These features can be accessed by clicking the three-dot icons on the top right corner of the YouTube video.
