  • YouTube Music is rolling out support for offline lyrics.
  • The feature lets users access lyrics for downloaded songs while offline.
  • Reports suggest the feature is rolling out to YouTube Music on Android but is not yet available on iOS.

YouTube Music rolled out a new lyrics sharing feature earlier this month, which lets users easily create shareable images featuring up to five lines from their favorite songs. But that isn’t the only new lyrics-related upgrade making its way to users. The music streaming giant appears to have quietly introduced another long-requested improvement.

YouTube Music has long allowed users to download songs for offline listening. However, it doesn’t provide access to lyrics for downloaded songs when offline. Users have requested this feature for years, with Reddit and YouTube Music community forums filled with posts on the topic. It seems YouTube Music has finally listened.
