YouTube to retire Go app in August

YouTube is retiring its lightweight alternative to the main app. According to the YouTube Team, it's retiring YouTube Go because it's become unnecessary. The app was first launched in 2016 to help make the app accessible to users where connectivity is spotty, mobile data prices are high, and low-end phones couldn't handle the main app. 

YouTube has upgraded its primary app to allow entry-level devices or those in slow network areas to run more efficiently. Plus, YouTube said it is working on new controls to help lower their mobile data usage if they have limited access to it. The company is now advising Go users to download the main app, especially since this gets them access to features like commenting, posting, and creating content.
