According to WABetaInfo, a Twitter account that tracks changes in WhatsApp’s beta builds has reported that the company is withdrawing YouTube support for iOS 10 and below. WABetaInfo tweeted, “WhatsApp has remotely disabled the YouTube support for iOS 10 and below, today! This feature will be an exclusive for iOS 11!”
Facebook-owned WhatsApp introduced the feature last year in November, which enables iPhone users to watch YouTube videos right in the app.
This is bad news for many of the iPhone users. As per the latest distribution numbers the there are 24% iPhones that run on iOS 10 and below and all of them will no longer have YouTube support in WhatsApp.
Recently, it was reported that WhatsApp will undergo major change and the company will roll out new features in the messenger. WhatsApp director Mubarik Imam announced the features at the ongoing F8 conference.
According to Imam, the features include stickers and group video calling. She also said that the app may also soon get some of the features of its business app, WhatsApp Business. Imam was talking at the company's annual developers conference F8.
Imam also said that Facebook-owned WhatsApp now has over 450 million daily users. She further added that over 2 billion minutes of video and audio calls are made through the instant messaging app every day.
As for stickers, she said the platform will also be open to third-party developers this means that they too will be allowed to make stickers for WhatsApp.
