With more than 500 million installs on Android, Google Podcasts was among the most widely circulated apps for streaming podcasts. However, the company announced in late 2023 that it would discontinue the app in 2024.

"After June 23, 2024, you will no longer be able to listen to podcasts in Google Podcasts," says a new message being shown to users in April.
