American
multinational technology company Yahoo Inc. has announced the shutting down of
its chat service Yahoo Messenger from August five this year.
However,
the company has asked all its users to move to the new version of the
Messenger, introduced last year.
"In
December of 2015, we announced a brand new Yahoo Messenger for mobile, the Web
and in Yahoo Mail on the desktop, built on a new modern platform. This complete
revamp brings users an incredibly fast, beautiful and smart way to send - and
unsend - messages, photos and animated GIFs in 1:1 and group
conversations," Yahoo chief architect Amotz Maimon said while explaining
the company's move.
"While
today we provide basic interoperation between the legacy product and the new
Messenger, we encourage all of our users to complete their transition to the
new Yahoo Messenger as we will no longer support
the legacy platform as of August 5, 2016. We intend to continue our focused
efforts on the new Messenger, with a goal of delivering the best experience to
our users," Maimon added.
