ICQ Shuts Down After 28 Years
ICQ, one of the pioneering instant messaging services, will shut down on June 26th after nearly 28 years. VK, which has managed ICQ since 2010, is urging users to switch to its other chat solutions. ICQ was known for its unique user number system and features like SMS messaging and offline messaging. The service had already been removed from app stores, signaling its decline before this official announcement.
