Nevertheless, the latter case seems to be relatively implausible since this cross-device download feature was earlier detected in the Android app’s beta versions.īack in 2018, reports suggested that a code related to cross-device synchronization had been detected when the tech analysts scrutinized a “dismantled” version of the YouTube app. This resulted in an argument among the analysts about whether the platform has only partially released this feature for testing purposes right now or whether it has wholly withdrawn it. However, when this feature was later tested out using two Android devices, it was surprisingly not there and thus didn’t work. Users can then click “Allow Downloading to this Device.” On clicking, a popup notification will appear on the screen asking the user which device they want to sync with the toggle option. Users can use this new feature by going to the “Settings” of the app and then tapping on the “Cross Device Offline Settings” menu. This new update will allow the users to sync downloads across different devices in which the same user account has been signed in.Īccording to the reports, the platform has tested out this feature’s extension recently, and it was live in beta as well as the stable Android app versions.

However, with the video-sharing platform continually introducing new exciting updates in the app, a recent report suggests that it is currently testing another great feature. One of the most distinctive features that YouTube offered its premium users was the ability to download video from the platform to play it offline later.
