- Google podcasts were used to remove the ability to remove the silence gap from the podcast.
- When the pod cast retired, YouTube music did not offer such a tool.
- Last year, the “trim silence” was worked on for YouTube music, and this feature is now finally available.
Development means improvement, okay? Although we are not strangers to see Google into one app, integrating features in this process, it is extremely disappointing when we lose some functionality along the way. Something happened with these lines when we lost Google Podcast and consumers were pushed to YouTube music, but we were happy to say that the situation was eventually intensified.
We are particularly talking about the potential of podcast apps to eliminate silence for any long time. For example, producers will edit them before publishing their podcast, but we have to stay with our reality, and it has become a useful option. Google Podcasts fully picked up this tool in 2018, but we do not have the same potential for YouTube music.

Last year, however, it started to look as if it was changing. In March of 2024, the evidence was seen in the AP’s tear, which revealed the work towards a new “Term Silence” option for YouTube music. We were hopeful that he would continue to live soon, but months have passed and we have never seen it.
Here in the summer of 2025, we have forgotten that YouTube music was also working on this device, but then on YouTube Reddate all, the user jointly jointly jointly stated that they have seen the option shown at the bottom of their playback speed controls.
Certainly, we have confirmed that it is on our own devices. After recent releases to install updates and run things, we can see that Google finally introduced this feature some time during the past month.
Has it been too long? Google should have worked a little more to make sure that the Google Podcast had the same features as the Google Podcast before closing YouTube music? You will not find any argument here. But despite the frustrations for a long time, we are basically happy to see the land of this new capacity.
