Google has announced that it will end App Store subscription support for YouTube TV in March, reports MacRumors. The company recently sent emails out to App Store subscribers informing them of the change.
Here's what the email said:
----
You're currently subscribed to YouTube TV through Apple in-app purchases, so we're writing to let you know that, starting March 13, 2020, YouTube TV will no longer accept payment through Apple in-app purchases.
YouTube TV members will still be able to watch YouTube TV content on Apple devices.
You'll be billed for one final month of service and then your in-app purchase subscription will be canceled automatically on your billing date after March 13, 2020.
----
Google is following the path of other services like Netflix and Spotify that bypass the App Store to avoid commissions. Currently, Apple takes a 30% cut of in-app subscriptions for the first year and a 15% cut in the following years.
If you are paying for YouTube TV via in-app purchase, you'll need to visit tv.youtube.com to subscribe directly after March 13th.
You can download YouTube TV from the App Store for free.
