## History

At Google I/O 2019, Google announced a web version of Google Podcasts for iOS, Android, and Windows.[6] The iOS version launched in March 2020.[7][8] In November 2019, the app received a redesign using Google Material Theme.[9] On May 12, 2020, Google announced that users can transfer their podcast subscriptions, and history to Google Podcasts from Google Play Music.[10]

In February 2023, Google podcast executives Chuk and Steve McClendon announced that podcasts would be added to YouTube Music in the near future.[11] In September, Google confirmed that the Google Podcasts app would be discontinued in 2024 in favor of YouTube Music.[12]
