Microsoft's new Windows Phone 8 YouTube app has been downgraded to its web-link avatar as it works with Google on a new app that's stripped of some of its features.
Trouble started brewing in when Google noticed that the new Windows Phone 8 YouTube app by Microsoft offered the ability to download videos, which is against YouTube's Terms of Service. In addition to this, the app also let users watch videos for which content owners has disabled mobile viewing. It also didn't feature any advertising as Google doesn't provide the necessary APIs as YouTube's mobile web version doesn't include it.
