Some time ago we were talking about a new way that YouTube wants to impose so that its users begin to give a more "social" meaning to the application. And it is that it will no longer be necessary to leave YouTube to share our favorite videos and comments with our friends, Google intends that we do all this from its own messaging service integrated into YouTube, and it has begun to be deployed worldwide for iOS.
It is the typical function that is hidden in the code and that they have not commented in the list of changes of the last update, but there it is. Let's take a quick look at the new YouTube messaging service so you know what's to come.
To begin with, the notifications tab at the bottom right is the one that will disappear, now it will be replaced by "share" or "shared", We do not know exactly how this functionality will be translated into Spanish, but what we are clear about is that it will greatly speed up the system. The only problem we found is having to use your YouTube account, more than anything because for many users it is an anonymous aspect or that has little to do with their real life.
Do we want to turn YouTube into a social network? This is basically what Google intends with this innovation, since now users will spend much more time in it, think that to comment on the live videos they will be in the application and will not leave it. This is in addition to the fact that YouTube is by far one of the worst developed applications for iOS, the battery consumption is constant, and we don't even talk about the data ... Will this Google initiative be successful or will it be the umpteenth failed attempt at a social network? We will have to check.
