JAKARTA - Some time ago, Google announced that it would stop the YouTube Go service starting in August. To access YouTube, we recommend that YouTube Go users install the main YouTube app or can visit youtube.com in their browser.

"Compared to YouTube Go, the main YouTube app provides an overall better user experience and offers features not available on the much-requested YouTube Go, such as the ability to comment, post, create content, and use dark themes," the YouTube team wrote. Meaghan was quoted by VOI on Monday, May 9.

YouTube Go was launched in 2016, and is designed for audiences in locations where connectivity, data prices, and low-end devices prevent them from getting the most out of the main YouTube app.

“Since then, YouTube has invested in improvements to the main YouTube app that make it perform better in this environment, while providing a better user experience that spans our entire community. In particular, we've improved performance for entry-level devices or devices watching YouTube on slower networks."

With future YouTube updates, the tech giant is also building additional user controls that help reduce mobile data usage for data-restricted viewers.

Meaghan expects that by using 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.
