In technology, things that made sense just a few years ago stop making sense with incredible speed, and this is especially noticeable with apps. An example of what we say is that it has been officially known that the YouTube Go application will cease to be functional in a short time. At the time, this app was very useful for certain users, since it allowed access to Google’s streaming video platform in a simple but quite functional way, and without ceasing to be an official client. Thus, due to its lower requirements (including storage space) it became a very interesting option for places with a limited Internet connection and even for those with terminals that were not very powerful. In this way, for example, it fit like a glove with Android Go smartphones. A logical decision by Google The point is that the Mountain View company has made the decision to put an end to this development because they consider it to be of little use these days. Currently, there are very cheap terminals (around 100 euros) that offer more than enough power to avoid having to use general-purpose applications, such as YouTube or any of the messaging apps themselves, without having to suffer from any limitations… In In the case of the Go version, it is not possible to use the Dark Mode or access everything that has to do with the comments. In this way, the Mountain View company, once it has communicated that YouTube Go will no longer be an active application, recommends using the complete official one -because it has significantly improved in resource consumption and, also, on the data you consume. And, if not, access the web version of the platform. Therefore, nothing to use reduced apps that do not allow users to have the fullest possible experience. When does YouTube Go say goodbye? Well, this is something that Google has also shaped: in the month of August 2022 it will be when the app will no longer have support and it is recommended that users use it (it is true that it has not had a spectacular market share) to change of development before then if possible. The truth is that taking into account the power of today’s entry-level terminals and the fact that data connections are getting better and better, jobs like YouTube Go no longer make sense. So it’s not a bad decision. >
