It was, more or less, in mid-2016 when YouTube itself, a well-known video platform owned by Google, announced that they were going to start testing a new instant messaging service fully integrated within the application itself. At that time the platform developers began to approve this new service in Canada, chosen country since, historically, it is where its users share more videos with each other.
This new functionality of the application was born from the idea of several Google executives to facilitate the sending of videos that could be interesting between contacts. After all this time, the service has evolved until it offers no limitation in terms of content that you can share or text that you can send. Thanks to this in Canada, many are the users who use YouTube like any other instant messaging service such as Telegram or WhatsApp.
YouTube wants to be your new instant messaging application.
After all this time of tests, new developments and validations, Google has been seriously evaluating whether to start offering this service to other users and it seems that, given the success it has had in Canada, finally the managers of the search engine company would have seen the transformation of the application with very good eyes, so much so that it is already available, from today, for all users of both iOS and Android.
As a final detail, tell you that this new YouTube format has been officially launched in Canada, despite that any user can access functionality by invitation. As you can see, to test everything that Google promises us, you must have someone you know in Canada so that they can invite you, meanwhile, we will have to settle for seeing how this instant video messaging service works.
