Though some countries in Asia is included among the list with highest internet speed in the world, there are still more countries that lacks that kind of internet connection which now lead to this astounding announcement and update made by Google.
According to the announcement, YouTube app will now have an offline icon that needs to be tapped in order to save the video to the phone's cached memory. A limit is also given as stated, that the cached video can only be played 48 hours prior to the time it was downloaded and an option to choose what quality of the video will be taken.
