While Google has urged users to move their data to YouTube Music or another service, podcasts can still be downloaded but not streamed after the shutdown date.
According to the report, Google has come up with the idea that instead of creating a separate app for business, it should be included in the existing apps.
Looking at this situation, Google did not give up with the closure of Google Podcasts, but shifted the idea of the podcast to another platform, YouTube Music.
The company plans to focus all of its resources on one app, YouTube Music, instead of two.
Google hinted at shutting down the app in September last year, with Google telling users that users would have to pay to access the YouTube Music service.

Google says users can choose to shift podcast data to the YouTube Music app or choose another podcast.
