Google Currents – end of life

In early 2023, Google will be discontinuing Google Currents. They will, instead, be promoting Google Spaces. 

How does this affect me?

Google Currents allowed people within an organization to interact with one another similar to a social media platform. Should you or your team require a shared space for teamwork and collaboration, we recommend using Google Chat moving forward.
