If you’re a YouTube user, being able to use YouTube offline is amazing, especially if your internet keeps disconnecting or if you’re finding yourself trapped in a boring family gathering with no internet connection. YouTube offline services were introduced back in 2014. Since then many changes have been made to this feature. However, not every video is available to download or watch later.
There are two types of YouTube users as you may not know, YouTube premium users and YouTube users. Premium users pay a specific amount to be able to download YouTube videos or music offline. More than 120 countries around the world have access to YouTube offline without buying premium. This includes mostly the MENA region. But not all hope is lost for YouTube users though as there is much third-party software that helps download YouTube videos or music on their smartphones.
