According to Google, YouTube Music will replace the original Google Play Music and become the default music service for Android 10 and later versions. It will also be pre-loaded on new devices using Android 9 or Pixel series phones.
However, the YouTube Music service is currently only available in certain countries and regions. Although there were some signs that the YouTube Music service would enter the Taiwanese market, connecting to the YouTube Music official website still shows that this service has not yet been launched in Taiwan. At the same time, the YouTube Music App still needs to be downloaded and installed through the Google Play Store.
However, if Google lists YouTube Music as an official pre-loaded app for Android 10, it is certain that Google will announce the availability of YouTube Music services in more regions at an appropriate time.
In the future, after YouTube Music replaces Google Play Music, users can still use the original Google Play Music functions through YouTube Music, including music playback on the device, uploading music files to personal storage space, and playing them through network streaming.
In addition, YouTube Music still provides Premium subscription service, which provides ad-free video viewing, background playback, and download viewing. It also covers all YouTube Music service functions, including no ad interruption, background playback, and downloading to the device for offline playback.
