YouTube Premium’s new features include picture-in-picture for YouTube Shorts

YouTube has recently launched a bunch of new features for Premium subscribers, including a quick way to skip the more boring parts of a video. When users double tap on a video, it will now skip ahead to what YouTube has marked as the more interesting portions of it based on a combination of AI and viewership data. The capability is now live in the US for Android users, though it’s rolling out to iOS users in the coming weeks, as well. On Android, Premium subscribers can now also watch Shorts while checking their emails, browsing social media or doing things on other apps in general with the new picture-in-picture capability.

Paying users will get access to the video hosting website’s latest experimental features, as well. One of YouTube’s newest test features is smart downloads for Shorts, which automatically saves the service’s short-form videos on users’ devices that they could then watch offline. In addition, Android users now have access to a conversational AI experience that can answer their questions and suggest related content without having to stop watching whatever’s playing on their screens. It’s only limited to users in the US at the moment, however, and only for English videos that display an “Ask” button. Finally, Premium subscribers can access YouTube’s redesigned watch page for the web that apparently makes it easier to find related content.

YouTube Premium removes ads from videos and gives subscribers access to offline viewing, Music Premium and other perks. In February, the Google-owned video sharing platform reported that it hit 100 million subscribers for both Premium and Music offerings, but it’s been trying to get more people to pay for its services. Aside from introducing new perks, it’s also waging a war against ad blockers and recently started preventing ad-blocking apps on mobile from accessing its videos.
