YouTube expands its direct messaging feature to more countries, including the US

• YouTube is expanding support for in-app messaging to more countries, including the US.
• Users aged 18 or older, who are logged into a YouTube channel, can send and receive messages within the app.
• It also supports unsending messages, blocking users, reporting conversations, and more.

Last year, YouTube started rolling out an experiment allowing users in certain countries to send DMs within the app. A few months ago, it was expanded to include 31 countries, but the US was still missing from the list. That changes now, as YouTube expands the test to even more countries.

YouTube today announced in a blog post that it’s bringing its in-app messaging and video sharing feature to nine more countries, including the US. The new list also includes countries like Brazil, the UK, and Singapore. The full list now has 40 countries in total, and you can view it on Google’s support page.
