The app allows users to watch videos offline to work around these issues, as well as offering features such as nearby sharing.<\/p>\n<p>From August, however, the service is coming to an end, with YouTube encouraging users to move across to its main app or access the platform via its website instead.<\/p>\n<p>With the widespread improvement of lower end devices, Google said its main app now provides users with a \u201cbetter overall experience\u201d with features that can\u2019t be accessed via the Go service \u2013 such as the ability to comment, post, create content, as well as the dark theme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we launched YouTube Go in 2016, it was designed for viewers in locations where connectivity, data prices, and low-end devices prevented us from delivering the best experience in the main YouTube app,\u201d Google said in a blog post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince then, YouTube has invested in improvements to the main YouTube app that make it perform better in these environments, while also delivering a better user experience which is inclusive of our entire community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To solve these user issues in YouTube Go\u2019s wake, the main app now includes improved performance for entry-level devices, as well as those that watch videos on slower networks. Additionally, Google said it is providing extra user controls that help to decrease mobile data usage for viewers with limited data.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube app does support offline video viewing, but users must pay for YouTube\u2019s Premium membership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing the main YouTube app, YouTube Go users will be able to participate in creation and community and have access to an overall improved user experience,\u201d Google said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Web Desk (National Times) &#8211;
