In a blog post published by Youtube, Youtube Music will replace Google Play Music by December 2020. Over the past couple of months, Youtube have been welcoming Google Play Music listeners to Youtube Music. Now users will have the opportunity to transfer their music libraries from Google Play Music to Youtube Music in that timeframe.

Secondly, in the coming months, Google play music users will no longer be able to stream from or use the Google Play Music app. Additionally, Youtube are making changes to the Google Play store and Music Manager.

Youtube will be holding onto things like your playlists, uploads, purchases, likes and more until December 2020 to make your transfer to YouTube Music easier. Users who wish to transfer their music libraries from Google Play Music to YouTube Music, can do so through December 2020, after which their Google Play Music libraries will no longer be available.

Simple transfer and additional changes to Music Manager

Starting in late August, users will no longer be able to purchase and pre-order music or upload and download music from Google Play Music through Music Manager.

To ensure users don’t lose any of their content, they’ll need to use the simple transfer tool to migrate any purchases over to YouTube Music or use Google Takeout to export data and download their purchased and uploaded music. Once the Music Store is no longer available, users will continue to be able to upload any tracks purchased elsewhere to YouTube Music.

For Google Play listeners that have not yet started the transfer process over to YouTube Music, now’s the time. Listeners can also choose to delete their Google Play Music data, and Youtube will clearly notify all users before they lose access to their Google Play Music library and data.

Over the last few years, Youtube have worked to build a fantastic fan experience on YouTube Music, merging the very best of Google Play Music with the very best of YouTube. For users who decide not to transfer their Google Play Music account to YouTube music, Youtube will be sure to cancel your subscription at the end of your billing cycle so you aren't paying for a subscription. And, of course, Youtube will be sure to notify all users ahead of subscriptions being cancelled.

APPLE AND GOOGLE ADDING NEW FEATURES FOR PUBLIC HEALTH DEVELOPERS TO BUILD CONTACT-TRACING APPS

Google has updated its Maps application with another 'Stay Safer' feature. This new feature is gone for expanding the wellbeing of clients who utilize the application to navigate, yet don't drive themselves. 

The new component is open once a client has picked a course. It has two further alternatives to look over. You can get updates in the event that you go off-course and furthermore share the status of your excursion with another person. 

In the event of the off-course choice, Google will inform you if your driver goes more than 0.5km off the given course. For the trip sharing feature, Google will impart your live area to family and companions of your decision. This component is accessible in well known informing application Whatsapp as well. 

The feature is accessible for Android clients at present. Google has not uncovered when iPhone clients can hope to get this use on their mobile phones.

Google has started selling a long-delayed budget smartphone boasting the same high-quality camera and several other features available in fancier Pixel models that cost hundreds of dollars more.

The Pixel 4a unveiled Monday will be available Aug. 20 after months of delay caused by supply problems triggered by the pandemic.

It will cost $349, a $50 discount from a cheap Pixel released last year. It’s also a major markdown from other higher-end models in the existing product line-up that start at $799. The next versions of Google’s top-of-the-line Pixel phones will be released sometime this fall, Google said, without revealing their price.

The budget-minded Pixel 4a is coming out four months after Apple released a discount iPhone, the SE, priced at $399. The low price helped spur iPhone sales at a time of soaring unemployment, as the economy plunged into a deep recession that is causing millions of households to curb their spending so they can pay rent and buy food.

It’s doubtful the Pixel 4a will reel in as many consumers as the iPhone SE, based on Google’s inability to make significant inroads as a device maker so far, despite generally positive reviews for the devices, especially their cameras.

Google so far has been selling fewer than 10 million Pixel phones a year since rolling out the product line in 2016, barely making a dent a market where more than 1 billion phones are shipped annually, according to IDC.
