We often come across news that technology companies are not getting any efficiency and unplugging applications and services that users do not prefer. A new one has been added to these recently. Google announced in a statement that a YouTube application launched in 2016 will be closed very soon.
Google announced: The end of the road for YouTube Go
In 2016, Google launched YouTube Go, which aims to facilitate access to YouTube from mobile devices and focuses on emerging markets for the internet. The mobile application, which was released specifically for Android, allowed videos to be downloaded and shared with other users, unlike standard YouTube.

Google announced on its website that it has decided to shut down YouTube Go a while ago. The reason behind this decision was explained as the standard application works efficiently and stably even with low quality devices and connection speeds with the improvements made recently.
Apart from that, let’s mention that Google is working on a new feature to reduce mobile data usage for people with limited data. In short, most of the features of YouTube Go have already come to the standard application. Work continues for the remainder.
YouTube Go will bid farewell to its users in August if nothing goes wrong. During this time, the company will further develop the standard application with new features, as we mentioned above, and provide a suitable environment for users with low-performance devices and internet connections.
So what do you think about this issue? Were you using the YouTube application that Google decided to close? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
