The most popular video sharing app in the world, YouTube is blurring the line between video sharing and messenger apps by adding an in-app messenger that allows users to share videos with friends directly on YouTube. In an announcement made this week, YouTube announced that they are currently testing the in-app messenger, which would allow users to send videos directly on YouTube without having to copy a link or share on other social network platforms. Shared videos can be replied to by sending a video as well, typing up a message or sending an emoji.
With this move, YouTube is possibly hoping to capitalize on the tendency of its users to want to share videos and increase the general usage of its app especially on mobile. This would definitely be considered a wise move from YouTube, as it is now known for a fact that other social media networks such as Facebook and Snapchat are chasing after YouTube's audience. Even Amazon is now on board as it yesterday announced it's own online video posting service
