The people of Kenya who love music have a reason to be happy. Google’s streaming service, YouTube Music, is now available here! There are now more music streaming services available in Africa, where Spotify has been the leading player up until now.
You can do more than listen to songs on YouTube songs. Additionally, it provides access to podcasts, which is helpful for people who previously relied on Google Podcasts. As of 2024, Google said it would no longer support the podcast app and suggested that users switch to YouTube Music instead.
Wait, there’s more. YouTube Music comes with YouTube Premium. That means what? It means you can watch YouTube videos ad-free, download music and videos for offline playing, and play videos in the background while using other apps. It sounds great, right?
