Back in September, and then in December, we told you that we expected Google to shut down its podcast app in April 2024. According to Forbes, earlier reports will come true this Tuesday, April 2nd, as Google Podcasts will move to the place where other Google apps, hardware, and software will eventually disappear. . And like many other things that Google shut down for no reason, the Podcasts app was also a success just a year ago when he reached 500 million downloads.
The Google Podcast app in the US will be discontinued after April 2nd, and many users who subscribe to certain podcasts will need to migrate to another podcast app. This is not a simple process and could put some Google Podcasts users at risk of having their credentials stolen. Users of the Google Podcasts app were sent an in-app notification reminding them that the app would be shutting down after April 2nd and urging them to make contingency plans.
Last day on Google Podcasts is April 2nd
One place Google Podcasts users can go to continue listening to their favorite podcasts is the YouTube Music app. Google says the YouTube Music app will be a “better destination for fans and podcasters alike, with exclusive YouTube features like community, discovery, audio and visual switching, and more.” Google provides instructions on how to transfer your Google Podcast subscriptions to YouTube Music on its YouTube support page.
