Dear Google, You Just Crossed the Line
- johnmaguire2013 13y agoI'm not seeing an update to YouTube, and my YouTube app does not currently do this. Perhaps they're rolling it out slowly, but it seems almost self-defeating to me to do this. One of Android's main selling points is how customizable it is, and the way apps are easily able to hook into the OS. Removing that ability from the YouTube app doesn't make a lot of sense. edit: Just checked, I'm on the same version as the blog post lists -- 5.2.27.
- TheAceOfHearts 13y agoThis is very weird... I was with the blog poster at lunch and that's when we discovered this issue. And I also tried it with my phone and it was opening G+ directly... But I just tried it again, and it's showing the full list of places I can share.
- danysantiago 13y agoThat is odd, at first I thought It was just my fault due to having selected a default for sharing by clicking "Always" instead of "Just Once", but I've cleared YouTube's Default Data, Cache and even its Data (Settings->Apps->YouTube). Then a proceeded to also unlink my G+ account from the app by clearing G+ App data, still no effect, instead of quickly appearing the share view from G+ it was first asking me which gmail account to use to then start G+. The only way I was able to revert it back was disabling Google+'s App, which then causes some things to not work properly such as Google Search.
- johnmaguire2013 13y agoInteresting. To be clear, I have the Google+ app installed, running, connected to my profile, and all related apps (such as Google Now) work as expected.
- Oletros 13y agoTried and I can share to any app, no problem here
