Snap Mode is a feature on the Xbox One that allows gamers to use stripped down versions of some apps - such as YouTube - on the right side of their screen, without leaving the game. Now, it appears that Microsoft may be permanently removing the feature soon.
According to a tweet by Microsoft executive Mike Ybarra, the Snap Mode feature on the Xbox One is being removed for "bigger things" in the future. He says that:
We replaced Snap to improve multitasking, reduce memory use, improve overall speed, and free up resources going forward for bigger things.
