Android Market is being discontinued as a standalone app, it will now be rolled into YouTube and you must enable Gemini to use it.

If you still prefer a standalone app however Android now offers Google Play Store, which works similarly to Android Market. It's only available as part of the Google Business Suite however.

We are now launching a messaging app with android market functionality. Its available USA only and not to business suite customers. Using it will require your google account to be converted to a google-youtube account and your personal details, like your name, are now public.

This update adds user privacr features by ensuring all private data on your phone is stored on ggogles secure servers rather than on your phone.

Google has discontinued Google-YouTube accounts and is launching Google Play Duo. To use it, you will need to uninstall all apps and re-download them with your new Duo account. Available soon for US only Pixel 9 PRO phones with an active Duo One subscription.
