Google Play Movies & TV for Android TV will be discontinued in January 2024
Google has been making changes to its apps, and one of the apps that will be discontinued is Google Play Movies & TV for Android TV. The app will no longer be available on Android TV devices or the Google Play website, and this change will be rolled out over the next few weeks depending on location and country.
Users will still be able to access their previously purchased titles on Android TV devices, Google TV devices, the Google TV mobile app (Android and iOS), and YouTube. Starting January 17, 2024, users will be able to access all purchased content in different ways depending on the device they are using.
On TVs and streaming devices powered by Android TV, the Shop tab will be the new home for watching previously purchased titles or buying and renting new movies. On cable boxes or set-top boxes powered by Android TV, the YouTube app will be the new home for watching previously purchased titles or buying and renting new movies from Google. And on a web browser, YouTube will be the new home for watching previously purchased titles or buying and renting new movies, with all content purchased from Google, including active rentals, available on the YouTube website.
The Google Play Movies & TV app for Android TV will be completely gone on January 17, 2024, so users have until then to make any necessary adjustments.
