YouTube has announced new features for Premium members, including an enhanced 1080p bitrate for iOS users, a Smart Downloads feature, queuing videos on mobile devices, and more. These new features are part of YouTube’s efforts to provide more value to its Premium subscribers.

One of the most significant updates is the enhanced bitrate version of 1080p HD video quality for users on iOS devices. According to the company, the enhanced 1080p quality setting will deliver extra crisp and clear video, especially for videos with lots of detail and motion. This feature will be available for all iOS YouTube Premium users in the coming weeks.

YouTube is also introducing a Smart Downloads feature that will automatically download recommended videos when connected to the Wi-Fi network for offline viewing. This will make it easier for users to watch videos on the go, even when they don’t have an internet connection. The feature will be available for Premium members and will save users the hassle of searching for new content.

Premium members can now also share YouTube videos through the Meet Live Sharing feature on Android devices. This feature allows Premium members to host Google Meet sessions where all attendees, regardless of Premium or free users, can watch YouTube videos together. The company plans to launch this feature for FaceTime users on iOS devices through SharePlay soon.

Another new feature for Premium members is the ability to queue videos on phones and tablets. This will give users complete control over what they are watching and allow them to jump from one video to another without losing their place.

Finally, YouTube is also allowing Premium subscribers to continue watching videos they previously left off, even if they switch between devices. This feature is available for all YouTube Premium subscribers on Android, iOS, and the Web.

YouTube is making efforts to provide more value to its Premium subscribers by introducing new features such as an enhanced 1080p bitrate for iOS users, Smart Downloads, queuing videos on mobile devices, and more. The YouTube Premium membership price starts at Rs. 129 per month and offers ad-free access, downloads, background play, YouTube Music, and more. If you’re a frequent YouTube user, it might be worth considering a Premium subscription to take advantage of these new features.
