If you look for the app nowadays, you\u2019ll find it has been renamed to \u201cGoogle TV.\u201d What happened?<\/p>\n<p>When Google rebranded the Android Market as the Google Play Store, it brought all of its digital distribution channels into one place. No longer was it only a place for Android apps and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s, but it also included ebooks, music, movies, and TV shows.<\/p>\n<p>Google Play Movies &amp; TV was the app that was used to access the digital content you purchased through the Play Store, and it was available on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.videos&amp;hl=en_US\">Android<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google-play-movies-tv\/id746894884\">iPhone<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google-play-movies-tv\/id746894884\">iPad<\/a>, as well as smart TV platforms. In October 2020, the Google Play Movies &amp; TV apps were rebranded as \u201cGoogle TV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Welcome to Google TV\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T1-5ejufxIg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Google TV has expanded the functionality of the Play Movies &amp; TV app. Instead of being only a place for your purchased content, it\u2019s now a central hub for your library and streaming services. This allows you to keep everything in one place.<\/p>\n<p>With Google TV, you can add the streaming services that you pay for, and when you do a search for a movie or TV show, it will include those services along with rental and purchase options through the Play Store. This makes it very easy to search through all of your services at once.<\/p>\n<p>Another part of the upgraded experience is the \u201cWatchlist\u201d feature. When you search for a TV show or movie on Google, you\u2019ll see a \u201cWatchlist\u201d button in the information box. This integrates with the \u201cWatchlist\u201d tab in the Google TV app, so you can easily find them to watch later on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-693491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xwatchlist.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.sAAdbQTgY9.jpg\" alt=\"google tv watchlist\" width=\"456\" height=\"203\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Google TV app gets even more powerful if you have the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/55610\/the-50-chromecast-with-google-tv-takes-the-confusion-out-of-streaming-tv\/\">Chromecast with Google TV<\/a> or an updated Android TV device. The Watchlist integrates with the home screen, making it even easier to keep track of your favorite movies and TV shows, and watch them on the big screen.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_693493\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-693493 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1a_clusters_standard_copy_232x.max-1000x1000-e1601565446630.png.pagespeed.ce.ywpAL39DAx.png\" alt=\"google tv watchlist\" width=\"650\" height=\"365\" data-credittext=\"Google\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Watchlist on the Google TV home screen <span class=\"imagecredit\">Google<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In short, the Google Play Movies &amp; TV app has grown up. It\u2019s still the place to buy and rent movies and TV shows, and it still includes your library of purchased content. If that\u2019s all you want it to be, you don\u2019t have to use any of the new features.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you subscribe to multiple streaming services, Google TV can be a very handy companion.
