Google has announced the closure of Currents, a platform introduced in 2019 as a replacement for Google Plus for G Suite users. It will be replaced by Spaces, a Slack/Discord-like feature integrated into Gmail. Google will begin winding down Currents in July 2023, and will start removing or degrading rarely used features in Q1 2022. This marks the second time Google has shut down Google Plus, as Currents was created when the original platform was discontinued due to a major privacy flaw.
