Google Prepares to Phase Out Popular App

Google is preparing to quietly phase out its popular app that allows users to purchase Hollywood movies and premium TV shows. The internet giant sent an email to "Android TV" users informing them that "Google Play Movies & TV will no longer be available on your Android TV device starting October 5, 2023." Instead, users can buy or rent movies through the "Shop" tab on "Android TV," and content will also be available via YouTube and Google TV. The British newspaper "Daily Mail" reported that many customers may not notice the difference, especially if they own newer "Google TV" devices like "Chromecast," which is a media adapter that allows users to stream content such as videos and music to a digital television. Users were surprised by the announcement, with one expressing great sadness on the platform "X." Others mentioned that the app "was garbage in any case," suggesting that "Google decided to shut it down because it couldn't convince anyone to watch the content it offered."
