Google is discontinuing its Podcasts app in the U.S., advising users to switch to YouTube Music by April 2. Bleeping Computer first reported the shutdown date, but users may save subscriptions until July 2024 by exporting them. Data shows only 4% of U.S. podcast users prefer Google Podcasts, prompting the move to consolidate resources.

The Podcasts app’s shutdown in the U.S. was announced in September 2023, with plans to transition users to YouTube Music for podcasts. Users can export subscriptions until 2024, as Google consolidates its resources based on user behavior data. The global shutdown timeline has not been disclosed, but Google aims to migrate all users by 2024.
