Google Podcast app in the U.S. will be shutting down after April 2nd, leaving users with subscriptions to certain podcasts in need of finding a new podcast app. The transition may also leave users vulnerable to having their credentials stolen, so extra caution is advised during the transfer process.
In-app notifications have been sent out to remind users of the impending shutdown, with the YouTube Music app being suggested as an alternative destination for podcast listening. Google claims that YouTube Music will provide better features for both fans and podcasters, making it a worthwhile replacement for the Google Podcast app.
For users looking to make the switch, Google has provided instructions on how to move their Google Podcast subscriptions to YouTube Music. Steps include exporting subscriptions in the Google Podcasts app and transferring them to YouTube Music. Once the transfer is complete, users can view their subscriptions in the Library section of YouTube Music.
This transition marks a significant change for users of the Google Podcast app in the U.S., but with the proper guidance from Google, the process of moving subscriptions to YouTube Music should be a smooth one.
