Google+ shuffled off this mortal coil to the good app graveyard again in 2019 — proper? Well, not fairly. As a reminder, its corpse was reanimated as Google Currents, designed strictly for paying G Suite prospects. Now, Google Workspaces announced that it has killed that app off too, marking the ultimate finish of Google’s social community or no matter G+ was, Ars Technica reported. 

Google stated that the introduction of the Spaces group chat app final 12 months negated the necessity for Currents, so it plans to wind it down beginning in 2023. Before it does that, nonetheless, it is going to add new capabilities to Spaces to accommodate a few of Currents’ social options. “These include support for larger communities and leadership communication, investments in advanced search, tools for content moderation, and more,” Google stated. 

As was the case with Google+, the utilization and function of Currents was probably unclear to many customers. That concern extends to Spaces, as effectively, sadly. As Google described it last year, Spaces is an evolution of Rooms however is part of Google Chat that is designed for group messaging, very similar to Slack. Got it?

What’s additionally sort of humorous is that Google recycled each the Spaces and Currents names: Currents was a news-style app that existed till 2013, and Google Spaces was a messaging app we noticed for a short while in 2016. So one may say that Google+ was successfully killed twice, and Currents was additionally buried two instances. Now, let’s hope we by no means hear these names once more.
