YouTube Premium prices have been hiked in India. According to the new plan, the monthly Individual, Family, and Student plans will cost Rs 149, Rs 299, and Rs 89. The prices of prepaid individual plans have been hiked with the annual Premium individual plan costing Rs 1,490 from Rs 1,290.
YouTube Premium offers ad-free video playback with a bunch of really useful features that elevate your video consumption experience, but is it worth paying $13.99 a month for? Features like Continue Playing, Picture-in-picture, Background playback, offline and smart downloads are great. Besides, YouTube Premium also gives you subscription to YouTube Premium, which is a great alternative to Spotify.
Downloading YouTube Shorts to watch later is pretty easy when you have a YouTube Premium subscription. In case you aren't subscribed to Premium, you can still download shorts using a third-party website like Savetube. All you need to do is copy the video's link and paste it in the empty text field.
To view and delete your YouTube comment history, you'll need to go to the You tab > Settings > Manage history and tap on the X icon to delete comments one after the other. On PC, you can go to the hamburger menu > History and click comments. There you can do the same and delete your YouTube comment history. There's unfortunately no way to bulk delete comments on phone or PC.

4K Downloader Plus is a tool for downloading videos from various platforms, including YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook, in high quality up to 8K resolution. It features an in-app browser, automatic downloads for new videos in subscribed channels, and a dedicated Android app. It allows for bulk downloading of playlists and saves user preferences.
Did you know that you can force YouTube into dark mode when the rest of your system is in light theme? On Android and iOS, open the YouTube app -> Profile icon -> Settings cogwheel -> General -> Appearance -> Dark theme. Meanwhile, on the web, it's easier and you just have to visit YouTube -> Profile icon -> Appearance -> Dark theme.
YouTube Premium users are getting features like Smart Downloads and Picture-in-picture in Shorts that many users already use when watching long-form content. Besides, the platform is also rolling out Jump Ahead alongside comments summarization and a chatbot to ask questions about videos which are all Premium-exclusive.
If you've abandoned your YouTube to tackle other issues in life and want to permanently delete it now, you can do it from the YouTube Studio. Just visit YouTube Studio, go to settings, and click remove YouTube content. From there a new tab will open and you can then follow the instructions to permanently delete your YouTube channel.
YouTube is taking another action against ad blockers, by skipping videos to the end or causing them to buffer endlessly. This occurs when using ad blockers. Some users on Reddit have also reported that videos don't have any sound and even adjusting the volume slider doesn't restore audio. YouTube's goal is to encourage users to watch ads or subscribe to their Premium service.
To download YouTube videos to your Android phone, use the Download option within YouTube available with the Premium subscription. Open source app Seal or YouTube client NewPipe, and SSYouTube let you download YouTube videos to your phone's storage.
Google is working on a new YouTube Music extension for Gemini which will let you play, search and ask for music suggestions using the AI chatbot directly. The feature needs to be enabled from the Extensions menu first from the app. It will use your account details to learn about your preferences and show you suggestions based on them. The feature is still in development and might be available soon.
YouTube is exploring the idea of displaying ads on paused videos, following positive results from initial tests on smart TVs. The ads will pop-up when you pause a video shrinking the video down and you will have to dismiss the ad to continue playing the content you were watching. This could be a move to drive more users to YouTube Premium.
YouTube's new AI "Ask" button, allows viewers to ask video-related questions and receive real-time responses without pausing the video. It's currently available for YouTube Premium users in the US, for English videos only. It can provide summaries, discuss specific sections, or translate educational content into simpler language. This feature is a convenient tool, but could potentially affect video watch time.
