It's not an April Fool's joke – another Google app, Podcasts, is shutting down on Tuesday. Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google has also placed a notice on the Podcasts website, urging users to migrate to YouTube Music for their podcast needs.
What Happened: The decision to shut down the Google Podcasts app was first revealed in September 2023. Despite its popularity, the app will be discontinued, marking another addition to Google’s list of discontinued projects.
Users are being advised to transition to YouTube Music, which Google claims will offer a “better overall destination” for both listeners and creators. The platform will introduce features focused on community, discovery, and the seamless transition between audio and video content.
