The Essential Features of YouTube Red
Many people consider using YouTube Red. It has a few selling points that lots of YouTube fan might like. But unfortunately, it's still not available in many locations. YouTube Red has quite a few benefits:
1. Watching YouTube videos offline
If you always wanted to watch YouTube videos offline – YouTube Red service can make it real. You will be able to save the video, and then play it whenever you want. Watch the downloaded video anywhere at any time – on a train or in the subway, during a plane flight, and so on. You don’t need to be online.
2. No ads
If you have YouTube Red subscription, you can enjoy watching your video without any interruption and constantly popping-up ads. YouTube will not show unwanted and useless advertisements. You’ll also be able to watch live online streams without them as well.
3. Playing in the background
This feature is designed for smartphones and tablets. If you use any of those portable gadgets – install YouTube app onto it. You can listen to YouTube with screen off.
This means you should be online all the time. And now imagine how much battery life it’s gonna kill if you’re using other apps meanwhile. Thus, background playing can’t even closely be compared to listening to music from your pre-installed iOS music.app.
