WebsiteGoogle Currents' Introduction & Features at the Wayback Machine (archived 2022-01-04)

Google Currents was a software developed by Google for internal enterprise communication. It is one of many products that constitute the Google Workspace line of products.

Google Currents was different from the also defunct Google app of the same name, which provided users with access to an electronic library of magazines from 2011 to 2013. It was replaced by the Spaces feature in Google Chat in March 2023. Google announced shutting down for business and education on July 5, 2023.

History and development

Originally called Google+ for G Suite, Currents was, up until its closure in 2023, the sole remnant of Google's defunct social network Google+, which the company shut down entirely for personal and brand use on April 2, 2019.

In June 2020, Google Currents was in Public Beta for Google Workspace clients. A free trial could also be requested.

On February 10, 2022, Google announced that it would be planning to "wind down" Google Currents and transition its users to the Spaces feature in Google Chat the next year.
