USB TV streaming to be removed from iOS and Android Xbox apps

A few years ago, Microsoft gave gamers the ability to stream live television to their tablets and smartphones through the Xbox app. Since then, many gamers have used this feature because not everyone owns a Windows 10 device. If you were using an iOS and Android device, then this was the only way.
Unfortunately, it looks like the iOS and Android Xbox app will be losing this feature soon. The company has sent messages to numerous Xbox One owners — including us — which stated the following.
It's unclear why Microsoft took this decision, but it seems like the company wants to limit availability, potentially with a lack of usage. We've reached out to Microsoft for comment and shall update you as soon as we receive a response from the team.
The company has removed a number of Xbox entertainment features recently, and this probably won't sit well with iOS and Android TV-goers. Hopefully Microsoft will announce a replacement soon or incorporate it into the upcoming streaming service which is expected to enter beta next year.
