In the coming weeks, YouTube Premium subscribers will have access to new features including enhanced 1080p video quality and SharePlay compatibility. YouTube promises that the enhanced resolution will make videos even crisper and clearer, especially those with a lot of motion and detail. Non-Premium subscribers can still choose to watch videos in standard 1080p.
YouTube has introduced SharePlay, a feature that enables users to share YouTube videos while on a FaceTime call. Additionally, YouTube has added a few more features such as the ability to 'continue watching' on a different device, the option to automatically download recommended videos on wifi for later viewing, and a queue feature for both Android and iOS users. You can check out YouTube's blog post for the full details on these new features.
For a monthly fee of $11.99, YouTube Premium subscribers can enjoy ad-free videos, download videos to watch offline, and continue watching even when their phone is locked.
