The new phase of Google Play Movies & TV will be less radical, but it further divides Google Play into a unified media store. Just like Youtube Music when it completely replaced the Play equivalent from Youtube.

Today company announced through an email to customers that Movies and TV will no longer be supported on the Play Store on Android phones and tablets as of May. Meanwhile, the tab will be disabled from the bottom bar, with the search no longer showing movies and shows.

For customer queries and support, the company redirects to the standalone Google TV app, which comes pre-installed on all Android devices.

It does not affect family sharing, Play Points, or the ability to use Play Credits as the backend infrastructure does not change. Other factors that remain unchanged are refund requests and wish lists. At the same time, no changes to Google Play were announced on the web today.
