The YouTube app has been removed from Amazon’s Fire TV devices four days earlier than expected, as a dispute between Amazon and Google continues.<\/p>\n
Fire TV devices now encourage people to use the YouTube website in a web browser instead.<\/p>\n
Google had warned it would remove the YouTube app from Fire TV devices on 1 January.<\/p>\n
It said the two companies had not reached an agreement to provide access to each other’s services.<\/p>\n
Earlier in December, Google said: “Amazon doesn’t carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn’t make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest’s latest products.<\/p>\n
“Given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo Show and Fire TV. We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon.”<\/p>\n
On Friday, Amazon said in a statement: “YouTube and millions of other websites are accessible by using a web browser like Firefox or Silk on Fire TV.”<\/p>\n
