Google Shopping app closed on mobile devices. However, the web version is still available. The software giant recently confirmed that support for shopping apps for Android and iOS will be discontinuing.
The app will work for a few months and then close completely. Google Shopping was introduced to compete with Amazon, where shoppers were shown links to websites where they could buy the products they wanted.
Shutdown was first discovered by XDA developers. Gadgets 360 is also unable to download the Google Shopping app on our Android smartphone from the Google Play Store. Google confirmed to 9to5Google: “In the next few weeks we will no longer support shopping apps.
Application Google Shopping closed and all the features that the app offers to the user are available in the Shopping tab. We will continue to build features in the Shopping tab and other Google interfaces, including Google apps, that will make it easier for users to find and buy the products they love. ”
The mobile app and web version of Google Shopping have a similar experience and user interface, so it’s clear why Google wants to leave the app altogether. The move happened because Google intends to preserve its technical resources.
The Google Shopping Home Feed provides users with suggested products they might be interested in. The Saved tab displays products that users have added to their wishlist, and the Notifications tab shows updates for orders and promotions. The shopping cart tab instructs the user to start their purchasing process.
Launched in July 2022 for users in the US and in December for users in India, Google Shopping is designed to keep up with Amazon. However, Google does not want to set up its own warehouse to store products, but refers customers to select retailers such as Costco and Target. Later that year, Google added new features such as: B. Customer service, price tracking, local store inventory, and the option to buy directly from Google.
