YouTube’s latest Premium perks, now in testing
YouTube just dropped some exciting new features for its Premium users, still in beta mode.
- The Speed Wars, Because 2x is So Last Year: YouTube just quadrupled down, as Premium users can now zip through videos at 4x speed on mobile. Blink, and you might miss the entire plot.
- High-Fidelity Dreams Come True: Audiophiles, rejoice! YouTube is testing high-quality audio up to 256kbps for music videos. Finally, a win for sound purists!
- Picture-in-Picture; iOS Finally Catches Up: Android users have been enjoying picture-in-picture Shorts for a while, smugly watching videos while texting. Now iOS users can join the multitasking party too.
- Smart Downloads; Your Offline Entertainment Manager: YouTube is bringing smart downloads for Shorts to iOS, automatically saving videos it thinks you’ll love when you have a good connection. Seems your offline binge sessions just got smarter!
- “Jump Ahead” Comes to Web, Because Life’s Too Short: Remember the “Jump Ahead” feature that helped you skip to the good parts on mobile? It’s now coming to web browsers. YouTube’s AI will help you leap past the “don’t forget to like and subscribe” intros straight to the juicy content.
In a nutshell, YouTube’s doubling down on Premium, making it faster, smarter, and more seamless. Whether you’re a speed-watching productivity guru, an audio purist, or just someone who pretends to work while watching Shorts, there’s something here for you.
