Google's stopped services in 2019

Google has also discontinued several of its products and services in 2019 as per year. Some of them were launched only a few years ago, but some are decades old. One of the reasons for the shutdown is the lack of user interest. Some products have been running for years, but they have lost relevance due to the advent of new technologies and platforms. So Google has shut them down. Let's take a look at the 10 products and services that Google closed in 2019.

Google's stopped services in 2019

Google URL Shortner: Google URL Shortener, launched in 2009, was added to Google's closed product list earlier this year. Google url shortener service would have facilitated the conversion of long URLs into short URLs.

Google Plus: Google launched the service in 2011. Finally, the Google Plus social networking site, which was a rival of Facebook earlier this year, was shut down for failing to attract users.

Google Allo: The Allo social networking app is one of Google's short-term products. Google was trying to launch instant messaging services like WhatsApp through the app.

Chromecast Audio: Google stopped marketing the Chromecast audio hardware device, which was launched in 2015 earlier this year. This allows users to stream audio from any device to the speaker with audio input.

YouTube Gaming: It's launched in the same year with Chromecast Audio. YouTube Gaming aims to give users a taste of live and recorded game streaming videos. The service also added to Google's list of closed products earlier this year, failing to attract enough users.

Inbox by Gmail: The Inbox by Gmail app, launched in 2015, worked as it did in Gmail. It was originally launched to verify the potential of new features. Most of it was finally added to the Gmail app.

Google Daydream: Google Daydream closed earlier this year, almost three years after it was launched. This virtual reality platform worked on specific Android devices. This app, however, failed to generate much buzz.

Google Clips: This is an action camera-shaped hardware device. Google Clips was launched in 2017.

Google Trips: It ended just three years after Google Trips was launched. It was a travel app that was aimed at helping users track their travel plans better.
