Google Currents being shutdown

Google will shut down Currents, the work-focused Google Plus replacement. It’ll wind down starting in 2023 and be replaced with Spaces.

Google Currents, formerly known as Google+ for G Suite, is software developed by Google for internal enterprise communication. It is one of many products that constitute the Google Workspace line of products.

“Google currents” is like a social media for the g-suite using organizations.

 

Currents hasn’t gotten a lot of love from Google. I was only able to find three blog posts about it on Google’s Workspace Updates site — the one announcing it, one in 2020 announcing that it was widely available, and the one from Thursday announcing it was being shut down. It was included on Google’s main list of apps that come with Workspace at one point according to the WayBack Machine, but it seems like it was removed sometime in November 2021.
