For many music enthusiasts, the ability to enjoy their favorite tunes offline is a crucial feature of a music streaming service. However, for a long time, major platforms have been reluctant to offer offline lyrics. YouTube Music used to be on that list, but thankfully, it’s no longer like that. Now, YouTube Music is finally gaining full support for offline lyrics after a long wait.

YouTube Music appears to be the first major music streaming service to offer this option. Previously, accessing lyrics for downloaded songs required an active internet connection. Now, the platform allows you to follow along with every word, even when there’s no internet connection.

Offline lyrics support arrives to YouTube Music

The functionality appears to be seamlessly integrated into the existing app experience. Once it reaches your device, you will find that the lyrics for any song you have downloaded for offline play will also be available without an internet connection. This means no more fumbling to remember a verse or needing to switch to another app to look up lyrics when you are in a low-connectivity zone.

This is a significant enhancement for anyone who frequently downloads music for commutes, travel, or simply to conserve mobile data. Imagine being on a long flight, deep in a remote area with no signal, or navigating an underground transit system. Previously, if you wanted to know the exact lyrics to a new track or just needed a reminder for a classic, you were out of luck without a connection. With this update, your downloaded songs will now carry their lyrics right alongside the audio. This will make those moments of listening to music far more engaging.

It’s noteworthy that the feature rollout is gradual. Google is implementing it as a server-side update. So, if it’s not yet available on your phone, patience may be key. In any case, the option shouldn’t take long to reach all compatible devices.

This move by YouTube Music brings its offline capabilities more in line with what users have come to expect from a leading music streaming platform. Currently, major names like Apple Music and Spotify don’t support offline lyrics. Subscribers have been requesting the feature for a long time, without success. Let’s hope the improvement on YouTube Music is the inspiration its rivals need to offer offline lyrics.

Other lyric-related enhancements

This isn’t the only lyric-related improvement YouTube Music has recently received. The platform now allows you to share lyrics in the form of Insta-worthy art cards with anyone, for example.
