Wear OS smart watches to lose Google Play Music in the next few weeks with no date for its replacement by YouTube Music. In a support note Google made the following announcement: “In the next couple of weeks, users will no longer be able to use or download Google Play Music on their Wear OS by Google smartwatches. Google is investing heavily in improving integrated music services through all of your connected devices with YouTube Music.”
They continued, “We are working on bringing our users a better music experience in the coming months with planned improvements to YouTube Music. In the meantime, you can use your Wear OS smartwatch to remotely control the YouTube Music app on your Android or iOS phone. When you play music from YouTube Music on your phone, controls will automatically appear on your watch.”
Despite considerable anger by users on Twitter there has been no response from Google at the time of writing.
