YouTube Go, the company’s "offline-first" app designed to aid in watching videos on slower networks, is expanding its availability to 130 countries.
YouTube Go first launched last year in beta in India and the company expanded availability to 14 more countries including Indonesia, Nigeria and Thailand. This week, YouTube is expanding the list to 130 countries.
YouTube Go features include a home screen featuring trending and popular videos in a given geographic area, available thumbnail video previews that are viewable before launching an entire clip and the ability to download videos for offline viewing.
