Google has announced it will be releasing a new offline feature within the YouTube app later this year that will make it possible for people to take videos offline to watch later during short periods of low or no internet connectivity.The move is said to be in response to the challenge of high-speed and affordable data in African countries and other emerging markets. According to the company, users can choose to add a video for offline viewing by tapping on the offline icon that sits under the video frame. Once taken offline, videos can be played back without an Internet connection for up to 48 hours, so you can enjoy YouTube videos without worrying about slow connections. However, it is not all videos that would have this offline viewing feature enabled. The company doesn’t say which markets would first get the feature or when exactly it would become available in Africa.
