YouTube brings back in-app messages, 7 years after removing it: What it means for users
YouTube is rolling out a new in-app messaging feature that will allow users to share videos and chat directly within the platform. This will mark the return of a capability that the company previously removed in 2019. The feature is now expanding to users in the US, UK, Brazil, and Singapore after being tested in select markets.
Announcing the rollout, YouTube said: “Our community loves to share videos with their friends and family, and we want them to be able to do it in one place.
