Report: YouTube Adds In-App Messaging to Mobile App
The feature allows users to share videos with friends, as well as chat about those videos within the app.
YouTube launched a new in-app messaging feature for a “small percentage of YouTube users,” according to a report from Wired. The feature allows users to share videos with friends, as well as chat about those videos within the application.
According to Wired, as the feature’s initial users invite their friends into conversations, they’ll receive access to the feature, as well. Users can chat about a single video in a thread, or share multiple videos over time. These conversations are stored under a new tab in the app.
In addition to now allowing users to recommend videos to their friends directly, YouTube also recently updated the machine learning engine behind the video recommendations presented to users on the app’s home page.
