Upon its launch, YouTube Go lacked the ability for users to comment, post and create content, or use Dark Mode at all. But all these features have become an integral part of the video platform and that's why the app will be going away.

The announcement also confirmed there have been improvements regarding performance, especially on low-end devices, and the regular YouTube app will no longer be a strain on the connectivity or data prices.
