- YouTube Music could be working on adding a “Trim Silence” feature to skip silent parts of podcasts.
- Google had previously announced a timeline for the complete shutdown of Google Podcasts.
As Google winds down its dedicated Google Podcasts app, YouTube Music is stepping up its podcast game with a new feature in development — “Trim Silence.”
The discovery comes courtesy of 9to5Google, who dug into the code of the latest YouTube Music APK (v6.43.52). This discovery coincides with the phasing out of the Google Podcasts app, positioning YouTube Music as the go-to podcast platform within the Google ecosystem.
