Google announced that future Android devices will come with the YouTube Music app preinstalled.

 

YouTube Music was a logical successor to Google Play Music as the YouTube library far exceeded that of Google Play Music. And since yesterday, Google made that very clear by announcing that future devices will come with the YouTube Music app pre-installed.


Every new phone that comes with Android 10 and Android 9 out of the box will swap the Google Play Music app for the YouTube Music app. However, existing Google Play subscribers and users can still download the app from the Google Play Store and enjoy their personal library.


But with this step, Google clearly wants to kill Google Play Music at some point in the near or far future.

Each new phone coming with Android 10 and Android 9 out of the box, will swap the Google Play Music app for the YouTube Music app. However, current Google Play Music subscribers and users can still download the app from the Google Play store and enjoy their personal library.
