In addition, the video download function provided on YouTube says, "By downloading the video file when connecting to Wi-Fi, you can watch the video without consuming communication volume even in places where Wi-Fi is not connected." This is a so-called offline viewing function, and downloaded files can only be handled by a browser. The feature will be available for a limited time until October 19, 2021 (Tuesday), after which it is unknown whether it will be officially implemented.
