YouTube Premium
YouTube Premium is the evolution of the YouTube Red service and will give access to the best china mobile phone number list series and movies in high definition and without ads.

The price of this will be 11.99 USD per month, but the price includes YouTube Music at no additional cost.

Among the services that will be available to Premium users are Adfree Video , so you can enjoy videos without interruptions, and Play in Background , which is a special feature that allows you to leave YouTube and open other apps without interrupting your playback.

YouTube Premium also includes the download service and access to all YouTube Originals productions, which have captivated thousands of viewers. This is excellent news for YouTube content creators , who will see greater opportunities to profit from their work.

One thing you should know is that if you are already a YouTube Red user, you will automatically become a Premium user at no additional cost.

For this reason, YouTube Music and YouTube Premium could be those services so long awaited by their users, real competition for the giants Netflix and Spotify.
