In yet another shakeup of the service, Google is shutting down a popular app used by thousands of movie fans.

Over the next few weeks, the tech giant will begin shutting down the Google Play Movies & TV app.

The service has already disappeared from smart TVs and will soon disappear forever.

Starting January 17, you will no longer be able to access your purchased or rented movies through Play Movies & TV.

But they won’t be lost forever, as purchased movies and TV shows will be transferred to Android TV and YouTube.

Google has announced that it will shut down a popular movie streaming service used by thousands of fans.

Google has been trying to slowly phase out the Play Movies & TV service since 2021 after it launched its standalone TV app.

Play Movies & TV has now been removed from all Roku devices and most smart TVs, but is still available on Android TV devices and the Google Play Store.

In a recent post on Android TV Help, Google confirmed that the service will soon be removed from these platforms.

In the post, Google explained: “We’re making some changes to simplify the way you buy new movies or access movies and TV shows you’ve purchased through Google.”

However, if you are a Google Play Movies and TV user, there is no need to panic as you will still be able to access your purchases.

“You will still be able to access all your previously purchased titles (including active rentals) on Android TV devices, Google TV devices, the Google TV mobile app (Android and iOS), and YouTube,” Google said.

Starting January 17, if you have a TV or streaming device running Android TV, you’ll be able to find the titles you purchased under the “Purchase” tab in “Your Library.”

If you use a cable box or set-top box with Android TV, all of your previously purchased content will now be in the YouTube app.

To find your purchases, open the YouTube app and go to the Movies & TV section where your content will be under the “Purchased” tab.

For web browser users, the process will be the same: simply head to YouTube and search in the same section.

However, Google does note that not all countries have the ability to buy and rent movies through YouTube.

This will not affect the UK, US or Australia, but users in other countries should check if they can access these services in their country.

While January 17 is the final deadline, Google says the update will roll out over the next few weeks, depending on location and country.

For people who used a set-top box or browser to access Play Movies & TV, all your content will be moved to YouTube (stock image)

Where will my purchases and rentals be after Google Play Movies & TV closes?

Google has confirmed that purchased content and active rentals will be accessible starting January 17, when the app finally closes.

If you use an Android TV

Open the ‘Buy’ tab on Android TV
Select the ‘Your Library’ row
This will show your purchases once they have been transferred.

If you use a cable or set-top box

If your box runs Android TV, your library will have been moved to YouTube.
Open the YouTube app on your TV
Select the Movies & TV section
Your media will be in the “Purchased” tab.

If you use a web browser

Go to the YouTube website.
Select Movies & TV and click the “Purchased” tab.

Other ways to look

Google also says you can watch purchased content in the Google TV mobile app for iOS and Android.
They don’t specify where the content will be, but it can be stored in the “Your Stuff” tab.

For most Smart TV users, Google Play Movies & TV content will move to Android TV on January 17.
