Movies & TV section in the Play Store is retiring
A few months ago, Google has announced it will retire the Movies and TV section from the Play Store as a part of restructuring, and now this change is noticeable to some users as the restructuring has started. No, don’t worry about your ability to rent or buy movies and TV shows on Android, this ability still remains, it has just changed its place.
What was the Movies & TV section in Play Store is going to be merged with the Google TV app. After this change, if you’ve purchased a movie or a TV show through the Play Store, you will find it in the Google TV app. The app will also keep track of your wishlists.
But that’s not all. On top of that, the app will also curate content from other video streaming services such as Disney+ or Prime Video, and you can watch that content directly through the Google TV app.
The app also features a remote control feature for all Android TV and Google TV devices, such as streaming boxes, sticks, and smart TVs.
Pretty much, the removal of the Movies & TV section from Play Store makes the interface much simpler, while the Google TV app unifies the experience.
So far it looks like the removal process is a gradual thing and might continue throughout June.
