Google has announced that its News app and news.google.com will remove support for paid magazines next month. “The removal not only applies to new subscriptions/purchases, but also to existing libraries of magazines,” reports 9to5Google. “That means that users who have paid for magazines to use them in the Google News app will be cut off pretty soon.” From the report: Ahead of the December 18 shutdown, users will be able to export copies of paid magazines. Magazines that cannot be exported due to interactive elements will be eligible for a refund. Google explains: “Support for magazine content in Google News is being discontinued beginning on December 18, 2023, which means if you previously purchased or subscribed to magazines, access from Google News apps or news.google.com to your library of magazines will be removed. To continue to access previously purchased magazine content, we are providing the opportunity to export and save each purchased issue. In some cases, purchased magazines contain interactive elements that cannot be downloaded and saved for future access, and we are offering a refund for this content.”
The company further adds that affected users will receive an email titled “An update to Google News magazine support” which will contain instructions on how to download copies of magazines they’ve paid for. However, the cutoff for downloads and/or refunds is also December 18, 2023, which means the clock is ticking. You can access your library of magazines on News here.
