## What is WeTube?

WeTube lets you watch YouTube videos inside of the Messages app that has been newly updated with iOS10.

When you find a hilarious video, don't you want to share it with a friend right away?
Or what about watching your favorite music videos with your boyfriend or girlfriend who is far away?

With WeTube, the two of you will feel like you're sitting right on the couch together and watching TV.

Launching WeTube is easy.
1. launch the Messages app and tap the A button.
2. Tap the button on the lower left.
3. Tap the WeTube icon.

Next, search for a video. Tap the Watch Together button to start watching with a friend.
Once you both tap the message bubble that appears, you'll be in your own private video room.
(If you want to uninstall WeTube, long tap on the WeTube icon and tap the X button.)

◆Share your reaction with 1-tap emoji
As you watch, you can share your emotions with one tap -- laughing, crying, clapping, and more.
Tap the part of the video you like to send emoji.
If you don't like the video your friend sent, you could try sending back the "falling asleep" emoji and suggest moving on to the next vid! :-)

◆Real-time sync
Once your video starts playing back on WeTube, your friend's video will automatically begin.
If your friend fast forwards a video, yours will also catch up and synch.
If your network connection is poor and the video stops partway, your friend's video will also pause until yours finishes buffering. No matter what the situation, you will both automatically stay in synch and be able to share reactions to what's happening live onscreen.

So, what are you waiting for? Start using WeTube today!
