Google also blocked a proper YouTube app for Windows Phone. They even took out the YouTube App that Microsoft implemented themselves because it used "non-public APIs", IIRC. They never provided an official app.
- romanovcode 9y agoYeah, this actually sucks hard because WP pretty much died since it had no apps. Technically it was a viable phone. Now if Google can block their major apps for a behemoth like MS, imagine what they can do to some smaller companies.
- Mindwipe 9y agoThe Microsoft app cut out advertising and allowed videos to be downloaded in breach of YouTube's music licenses. It wasn't a huge surprise Google blocked it. Still not quite sure what Microsoft were thinking there.
