Now, one you open the app you can use it however you want it to. But here are few highlighting features that would help you make most out of your YouTube Go user experience. So without further ado, letโ€™s begin with it.

1.Save Data and Preview Videos:

Primarily, Google has designed the app to let users save their mobile data. So what does that really mean and how YouTube Go will actually save your data?

  • To do so, the app allows you to select video size manually. This is very helpful when youโ€™re low on data, it will also help you play or save videos at aย smaller size.
  • You also get to preview the video with a single tap. Previewing will give you an idea of the actual video contents. This will help you save your time and data eventually.

2. Watch video description without playing it:

To check out a particular video description on YouTube, you had to play it earlier and only then you could read it. But YouTube Go has changed this tradition. Now, you can directly view it from the video preview itself. To do so, directly tap on any particular video-> tap the upper arrow from the pop up-> scroll down to read the description.

3. Save Videos and select storage options:

Now, this option is really intriguing, you can save most of the videos really fast on your phone or SD Card. Moreover, you can play them anytime without buffering. The saved videos are downloaded on your device and you can access those from the YouTube Goโ€™s Saved tab. As a bonus, you can watch it as many times you want to even with slow or almost no internet connection.

4. Delete and Check recent history:

Unlike YouTube, the YouTube Go app also comes loaded with the two unique features, where you can check your recent history and also delete the search history. Although YouTube Go ha added this two features on its list, but YouTube stays a clear winner here as it has options to pause the watch and search history. Unfortunately, you will have clear your history manually on the Go app. Maybe we will get to see this upgrade in the official version.

5. Share and Receive videos offline:

This seems as the secondary option why Google has launched YouTube Go in India. Taking the connectivity issues into consideration, Google has added- instant share feature that lets you share and receive saved videos over Wi-Fi Direct. Meaning, you can now transfer your saved videos to your friends and relatives without using the Internet. This also saves your Internet or data charges for streaming the same video again. Moreover, those who donโ€™t know, Wi-Fi Direct is a standard, which allows devices to easily connect with each other without requiring a wireless access point.

  • To share videos, go to the saved tab->hit send button-> pop up arrises-> tap send again-> select the video you want to send-> your phone will start setting hotspot-> at the same time the recipient should tap the reveive button in order to complete the transfer.
