Yahoo said today that it will be shutting
down its old Messenger application on
August 5. Downloads of the old version are
no longer available from Yahoo — but after
that date users won’t even be able to log in
or send messages on it or third party-
clients that used its application
programming interface (API), a
spokesperson confirmed to VentureBeat.
This is software that made its debut in the
late 1990s, with the classic serif Y that
stands for Yahoo. The legacy Yahoo
Messenger garnered a following among
stock traders and developed a solid user
base in the Asia-Pacific region, the
spokesperson said. But now that Yahoo has
a modern cross-platform Messenger with
features not included in the old version,
Yahoo is giving its predecessor the old EOL
(end of life).
Here’s how Yahoo explains the move in a
blog post :
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.
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
The change affects the legacy Messenger
clients on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
The announcement comes as Yahoo reviews
strategic options, including a reverse spin
of certain properties. In February Yahoo
announced that it was laying off 15 percent
of employees. Top brass in Yahoo Labs
have left, and the company has moved to
kill off digital magazines and other
products in the past few months.
In today’s blog post Yahoo also announced
that on September 1 it will discontinue the
Yahoo Recommends content discovery tool
for third-party websites that can suggest
articles to read. |

Good. In my list of thirty three (33) contacts only two (2) people used the messenger religiously. Old things pass away to get replaced with the new. Still feels like yesterday when everybody and their relatives used the software like it was Facebook. Can't wait till the site kills its mail service, too many spammers on it. 2 Likes |
