Here are a few scenarios where you need an offline version of YouTube videos. Why do we need to download YouTube videos offline? But there are still some reasons you should download YouTube videos. Sure, we live in a world almost always connected to the internet. Probably the only problem? YouTube still does not allow downloading videos for offline access - until you are ready to pay premium charges. It features a broad collection of video content, including but not limited to funny videos, video blogs, documentaries, movies, etc. Over the past decade, YouTube has become the go-to entertainment destination for most people.

Is it the best way to watch YouTube videos? Of course not, but it goes to show what the Apple Watch is capable of. Regardless, the developer is continuing to work on making the app more stable.

You'll first be greeted with a list of trending YouTube videos to choose from, but you can also search for content. You can check out the WatchTube app yourself by heading to the App Store (opens in new tab) on your Apple Watch and downloading the app. Apple Watch Series 7 owners will likely have a better experience, if only by a fraction. While it's neat to procrastinate by watching one too many videos on my wrist, the display is absolutely tiny and, while not bad, Apple Watch speakers aren't meant to dish out audio from videos (although, you can pair wireless headphones for far better audio).

The app doesn't link to a user's YouTube account, as the developer states "anything you interact with is stored on the device for privacy reasons." Content is generated offline, as your feed will deliver a curated list of videos from what you've watched on the Apple Watch and to who you've subscribed to.
