One of the advantages of YouTubePremium is that its users can download videos to view them offline from your mobile app, and about this feature Youtube started testing a new feature.
Through the experimental functions, YouTube for Android has started testing the new smart downloads for its subscribers and for a limited time. Specific, until February 14
Here are the smart YouTube Premium downloads
If you’re a YouTube Premium subscriber, you can check if you can already enable smart uploads by clicking on your avatar. Profile > Your Premium benefits > Try new features. Appears the new experimental function of smart downloads that some users today may already be trying.
As it appears in the description of this function in the tests, YouTube will automatically download a total of 20 videos over Wi-Fi per week, which are the 20 recommended downloads that until now YouTube recommended to download manually.
Once the experimental feature is enabled, when accessing Library > Downloads the new section will appear smart downloads with a shortcut to activate or deactivate this automatic downloading of recommendations. With this function, YouTube wants to ensure that its users will always have videos to play even if they do not have an Internet connection.
Starting February 14, this experimental feature will be retired and will not return to your subscribers until Google gives it the green light and officially rolls out Smart Downloads to all of its subscribers.
