Where Does YouTube Premium Download to?
YouTube Premium offers a handy feature that allows you to download videos for offline viewing. But where exactly are these downloaded videos stored on your device?
The answer depends on the device you're using:
Android
On Android devices, downloaded YouTube Premium videos are stored in the YouTube app's internal storage. This means they're not directly accessible through your device's file manager. You can find them within the YouTube app by going to Library > Downloads.
iOS
On iOS devices, downloaded YouTube Premium videos are stored in the Files app. Specifically, they're located in the "YouTube" folder within the Files app.
Other Devices
For other devices like smart TVs, gaming consoles, or web browsers, downloaded YouTube Premium videos might have different storage locations. However, they're usually accessible through the Downloads section within the YouTube app or the YouTube website.
Important Notes
- Downloaded videos are usually temporary: YouTube Premium downloads are typically stored on your device for a limited time. Once you're offline for an extended period, the videos might expire and you'll need to redownload them.
- You can't transfer downloaded videos: You can't transfer downloaded YouTube Premium videos to other devices or to external storage. They are tied to your specific account and device.
- Limited download capacity: YouTube Premium comes with a limited amount of download storage. You can see how much space is available in the Downloads section of the YouTube app.
By understanding where your downloaded YouTube Premium videos are stored, you can easily access and enjoy them offline whenever you need to.
