Can YouTube Music<\/a> play offline? Yes<\/strong>, if you\u2019re a YouTube Music Premium<\/a> user and download tracks to your device for listening without an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep streaming music, even if you’re on the subway or stuck down a well. Whether you\u2019re an Android or iPhone user, here\u2019s how to download from YouTube Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

To download a song, tap the three dots<\/strong> to bring up the Menu and hit Download<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also tap the track\u2019s cover art and hit Download<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to download a playlist or album, again tap the three Menu dots <\/strong>and tap Download<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also possible to download from the details page<\/strong> of the playlist or album.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

YouTube Music smart downloads and offline mixtape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

YouTube Music offers an alternative to manually choosing which content to download. You can turn on smart downloads<\/strong> on Android or offline mixtape<\/strong> on iPhone, which means the app automatically downloads tracks<\/a> to your device based on your watch history \u2013 music you\u2019ve listened to previously on YouTube Music or watched on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea behind smart downloads is to have a selection of songs <\/a>ready to go so you\u2019re never caught out without data or Wi-Fi with nothing to listen to. When you\u2019ve got a Wi-Fi connection the selection will refresh every 24 hours. Make sure you connect to the internet every 30 days to keep your downloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Turning on smart downloads is easy on Android<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap your profile picture > Downloads<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap the Settings <\/strong>cog and switch on Smart downloads<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Similarly, to turn on offline mixtape on iPhone<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap profile picture > Downloads & storage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hit the Settings <\/strong>cog icon, and toggle on Download an offline mixtape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can view your watch history by heading to Settings <\/strong>> Privacy & location<\/strong> > Manage watch history<\/strong>. There you can tap any content to remove it. You can also turn Pause watch history<\/strong> off or on from the Privacy & location<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
