Google is shutting down another popular app forcing users to switch
GOOGLE has shut down another popular app forcing users to switch to a different method.
A fan favourite app will be discontinued in late 2024 as the tech giant focuses on other tools.
It’s decided to axe whiteboarding app Jamboard, according to a Workspace post.
The device lets workers interact in real time from a distance.
Google claimed other whiteboard providers – including FigJam, Lucidspark, and Miro – work better for Workspace users.
Google will now work with these companies to move Workspace services Google Meet, Drive, and Calendar, into those existing platforms.
There will be a phased approach to the Jamboard shut down in a bid to streamline the process.
Along with axing the Jamboard app, Google is also winding down support for its £4,000 ($5,000) 55-inch device.
The hardware will no longer receive software updates from September 30.
