With the help of this plan, subscribers were able to get an ad-free viewing experience. However, it didn't have Premium features such as offline downloads, background playback, or any YouTube Music benefits.
After the discontinuation of Premium Lite, users will have the option to go back to the regular YouTube app or subscribe to the pricier YouTube Premium that also includes YouTube Music.
