New YouTube Premium features announced

Key Takeaways

  • YouTube Premium subscribers gain AI-powered seeking function for faster navigation.
  • Picture-in-picture mode for YouTube Shorts now available on Android devices.
  • YouTube Premium users can now download curated YouTube Shorts for offline viewing.



YouTube has announced several new features for its Premium subscribers this week, aimed at giving these power users more options and control over their video consumption. With more than 100 million YouTube Premium subscribers now globally, it looks like Google is laser focused on providing as seamless of an experience as possible with some pretty interesting features that should help subscribers get the most bang for their buck, including better seeking functions, and the return of an in-app AI assistant. Here’s a quick rundown:


Seek smarter with AI-powered “jump ahead” function

Get right to the good stuff


YouTube users have long used the double-tap feature to skip ahead while watching videos, but Premium users will now be able to take advantage of a smarter seeking function that allows them to get right to the most watched parts of a given video. After double tapping to skip ahead, users will see a “jump ahead” button that uses AI and viewership data to predict which part of the video you probably want to see. This feature is already available to all US Premium subscribers on Android and will be rolling out in a few weeks for iOS users.

Though picture-in-picture has long been available for widescreen videos, Premium subscribers with Android devices will now be able to access this feature for YouTube Shorts, which will now play in miniature while you’re using other apps, including messages, web browsers, and even some games.


Smart downloads for YouTube Shorts

YouTube Premium users who are signed up to test new features can now enable YouTube Shorts smart downloads, which automatically downloads a selection of YouTube shorts to your phone, ready to watch offline. These videos are curated based on your past watches, so hopefully, even when there’s no internet, Premium users can stay entertained.
