YouTube offline now lets you pick a time to download videos
Google rolled out the ability to take YouTube videos offline in India in 2014, and the search giant is now adding a Smart Offline feature that makes it easier than ever to download videos. Cellular networks in the country offer reduced data rates for late night hours (usually between 3AM and 5AM), and you can now take advantage of the savings by scheduling videos for download during off-peak hours.
From the Google India blog:
The feature is now available to Airtel and Telenor subscribers, and will be making its way to other carriers in due course of time. As you'd imagine, the feature only works if you are on a cellular connection, and isn't valid for those on Wi-Fi.
