Google Discontinues YouTube Messages
In a blog post, Google said that it was discontinuing the feature to focus on other areas of YouTube. "We're constantly evaluating our products and features to make sure we're providing the best possible experience for our users," the company said. "After careful consideration, we've decided to discontinue YouTube Messages."
The discontinuation of YouTube Messages is likely to disappoint some users who used the feature to communicate with friends and family about videos they were watching. However, Google has said that there are other ways for users to communicate on YouTube, such as through comments, posts, and stories.
What does this mean for users?
Users who have used YouTube Messages will no longer be able to send direct messages to each other after September 18, 2023. However, they will still be able to comment on videos, post on their channels, and share stories.
What are the alternatives to YouTube Messages?
There are several alternatives to YouTube Messages that users can use to communicate with each other on YouTube. These include:
- Comments: Users can leave comments on videos to share their thoughts and reactions with other viewers.
- Posts: Users can post updates on their channels to share what they're up to and to connect with their subscribers.
- Stories: Users can share short, temporary videos and photos with their subscribers.
