YouTube Premium Lite: YouTube Premium Lite users are in for a treat, now they'll get two of the most useful features..

Video streaming platform YouTube has given its cheapest subscription, Premium Lite, a major upgrade. Users will now receive two new features, including background playback and offline downloads. This means users can enjoy videos or music even with their screen locked or while using other apps. This feature will be especially helpful for listening to podcasts with the screen off.

Two major features were added to the YouTube Premium Lite plan
YouTube has added some of the most sought-after features for Premium Lite users. Users can now play videos even with their screen locked or while using other apps. It also offers the ability to download videos and watch them without internet. According to the company, this update will be fully rolled out in all markets in the coming weeks.

Pricing and plan details in India
Premium Lite is priced at ₹89 per month in India, making it one of the most affordable paid streaming plans. The full Premium Individual plan costs ₹149 per month. The two-member plan is priced at ₹219, and the family plan at ₹299 per month. The good news is that despite the addition of new features, the Lite plan's price hasn't been increased.

What benefits will Lite users now receive?
After the new update, Premium Lite users will enjoy a better experience with fewer ads on most non-music videos. Background playback will be especially useful for those watching podcasts, interviews, and educational content. The offline download feature may be beneficial for travelers and users in areas with weak network connections. However, ads will still appear on music videos.

Difference between Premium Lite and Full Premium plans
Despite the upgrade, the distinction between Lite and Full Premium has been maintained. Full Premium offers ad-free YouTube Music, background playback of music videos, and additional controls. Lite users will not have access to YouTube Music Premium. This means Lite is suitable for users who only want to watch videos, but Full Premium will still be a better option for music lovers.
