Good riddance. Less bullshit to uninstall when I get a new phone.

This isn't even talking about phones.

You're right. From the article:

The company emailed users of Android TV to say that the "Google Play Movies & TV app will no longer be available on your Android TV device from 05 October 2023.

I wonder what the button on my TV remote will launch now? An error message? Or YouTube?

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I would expect YouTube.

This community is about Android, not about phones. Android is on phones and televisions.

Yes, but they were pointing out that this change doesn't affect phones, meaning the other commenter didn't read the article.

People actually read the article?

[I'm the dumbass who didn't read the article]
