Tech Giant Google to move “Movies & TV” from Play Store to Google TV, shun “Movies and TV” from Google Play

In an attempt to redesign the Google TV app, tech giant Google has decided to remove the “Movies and TV” section from the Play Store. The Google TV app will be the new residence of the “Movies & TV”, the company announced in one of their support blog posts. The post read, “Starting in May 2022, the Google TV app will be your home for buying, renting, and watching movies and shows on your Android mobile device or tablet. On the Google Play app, Movies & TV will no longer be supported.”

Google added, “Google Play will continue to be your store for apps, games, and books. On Google TV, you will find the same experience you are used to on Google Play Movies & TV with the latest new releases, rentals, deals, and great recommendations for you.” These dynamic and upcoming changes will reflect in the month of May.

The purchased content will continue to be available in the Google TV app and purchases on the Google TV app will continue to be eligible for family sharing and Google Play Points. The users can still use Play credit and Play gift cards to make purchases in the Google TV app. Google further mentioned that the users can still view and request refunds for their purchases on Google Play.
