Google rolled out Wednesday a version of its YouTube video sharing app that is targeted at users who do not have robust internet connections.
The beta version of the YouTube Go app is available on the Google Play Store in India. It offers data saving features like the ability to preview videos before the user saves and watches, and a choice of resolutions when saving or streaming videos. YouTube has also tried to emphasize the social aspect of the app by letting users share video with others.
