After some disagreements between Microsoft and Google over Microsoft’s version of YouTube app on Windows Phone, Microsoft is finally re-launching the YouTube app. A spokesperson from Microsoft has confirmed it to the TheVerge that both Google and Microsoft have worked together on this updated version of the YouTube app, which will be available from today itself.
The company’s spokesperson added that this updated version of the app will “provide the great experience our consumers expect while addressing the concerns Google expressed in May, including the addition of ads.”
Earlier Microsoft had launched an unofficial version of the ad-free YouTube app on Windows Phone, but soon was opposed by Google. Soon after, Microsoft resolved the issue with Google and removed the app from its store in order to rework on the API of the app with Google. After Microsoft had pulled back unofficial version of the YouTube app, Nokia launched its own version of the YouTube upload app for its Windows Phone running Lumia smartphone.The company’s spokesperson added that this updated version of the app will “provide the great experience our consumers expect while addressing the concerns Google expressed in May, including the addition of ads.”
Reportedly, Microsoft appreciates “Google’s support in ensuring that Windows Phones customers have a quality YouTube experience and look forward to continuing the collaboration.”
