Google has repeatedly warned that it’s shutting down Play Music in favor of YouTube Music, and now the end is nearly at hand. The internet pioneer has revealed that YouTube Music will officially replace its Google Play counterpart by the end of 2020.

The shutdown will start in September, when users in New Zealand and South Africa will lose use of the Google Play Music app. All other countries will follow in October. Music libraries will remain intact until December, so you’ll still have an opportunity to transfer your collection to YouTube Music for weeks afterward.

Some features will go away before then. Google will pull the options to buy and pre-order music in the Play Store in late August. You’ll have to either use the transfer tool to send purchases to YouTube Music or rely on Google Takeout to export your data and download all your purchased and uploaded tracks. Google will also remove the options to upload and download Play Music songs through Music Manager.

Google was continuously trying to get deeper into the financial world and now the tech giant has announced that it is planning to launch the digital bank accounts in Google Play.
The eight banks in the US have confirmed that they are partnering with Google to offer digital-first bank accounts directly in the Google Pay app. Google will provide the front-end, intuitive user experiences, and financial insights while the financial side of these accounts will be managed by the partner banks.

Built-in budgeting tools and “financial insights” exclusive to Google’s digital bank accounts will be offered by the Google Pay app.

Google’s vice president of Payments Ecosystems, Felix Lin, shared the company’s excitement:

GOOGLE IS EXCITED TO WORK WITH BBVA USA IN ENABLING A DIGITAL EXPERIENCE THAT IS EQUITABLE FOR ALL AND MEETS THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF A NEW GENERATION OF CUSTOMERS. WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN USE OUR TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE TO BENEFIT USERS, BANKS AND THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL ECOSYSTEM.

Google also said:

WE HAD CONFIRMED EARLIER THAT WE ARE EXPLORING HOW WE CAN PARTNER WITH BANKS AND CREDIT UNIONS IN THE US TO OFFER DIGITAL BANK ACCOUNTS THROUGH GOOGLE PAY, HELPING THEIR CUSTOMERS BENEFIT FROM USEFUL INSIGHTS AND BUDGETING TOOLS, WHILE KEEPING THEIR MONEY IN AN FDIC OR NCUA-INSURED ACCOUNT. WE ARE EXCITED THAT SIX NEW BANKS HAVE SIGNED UP TO OFFER DIGITAL CHECKING AND SAVINGS. IN ADDITION TO CITI AND STANFORD FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, WE WILL ALSO BE WORKING WITH BANK MOBILE, BBVA USA, ...
