The announcement was made via the app's changelog, which reads, “After months of waiting, Saavn is now JioSaavn.” It mentions that there are no changes as of now but subscribers should get “more firepower” in the coming days. “...so suffice it to say, with Jio as our partner, you'll be getting the same app you know and love, with way more firepower and music than ever before. And there are a ton of great new features and improvements right around the corner, so stay tuned!” the changelog states.

However, this is not the case on the Google Play Store as the new merged app is not still visible on the official Android app store. At the time of writing this report, Saavn Music & Radio is still a standalone app but interestingly, the Jio Music app has Saavn Media Pvt Ltd listed as its developer. There is no information on when the new app will make its way to the Play Store, but rest assured, we will update this story as soons as we get an official confirmation from the company, or the updated app is reflected on the platform. Additionally, one will not find Saavn anymore on the Apple App Store but the JioMusic app is still listed. However, its What's New section states, "Very soon, an all-new music experience will be in your way with “JioSaavn”. This update will ensure all your favorites, downloads and playlists are moved seamlessly into JioSaavn." So, it seems that neither of the two old apps will be around once the JioSaavn app is completely rolled out.
Saavn Media Pvt Ltd is the developer of the standalone Jio Music app on Android.
