Millions of Google users told major app is shutting down for good as September deadline for ‘permanent closure' revealed
Customers have a few short months to prepare for the change GOOG-BYE Millions of Google users told major app is shutting down for good as September deadline for 'permanent closure' revealed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GOOGLE users have been notified that a major app will be shutting down for good by September. Google Duo was a video and audio calling app, similar to Apple's FaceTime, Facebook's WhatsApp or Messenger and Microsoft's Skype. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Google Duo will be shutting down by September Credit: Alamy It merged with Meet in 2022 to create one entity for video calls but will soon be removed. While the Google Duo brand officially ended in 2022, some of its features were still used under the 'Legacy calls' section in Google Meet. The app for the latter is now showing a banner that reads, 'Meet calling will replace legacy (Duo) calling in September 2025.' Meet calls offer a superior video call experience compared to legacy Duo calls, with features like live captions, screen sharing, raise your hand, stackable effects, cloud encryption, and more. As part of the transition, some legacy Duo features won't be available in Meet. This includes Family Mode, Moments, and Knock Knock. AMAZON, AMAZ-OFF It comes after news that Amazon is to shut down an app that's been used by millions of people. There are major downsides for affected users – and you might even be owed a big refund. Millions of people using the Amazon Appstore will be cut off in mid-August. The closure affects anyone using the app on Android phones. Over 200 million people use the Amazon Appstore, around 1% of which come via Android gadgets. Google reveals 'Advanced Protection' for VIPs – and you can use it too An Amazon spokesperson told The Sun: "We've decided to discontinue the Amazon Appstore on Android to focus our efforts on the Appstore experience on our own devices, as that's where the overwhelming majority of our customers currently engage with it." Amazon's Appstore is a rival to the default Google Play Store, letting you download apps and games. It launched on Android all the way back in March 2011. But on August 20, the Amazon Appstore will close – and any apps downloaded from it will no longer receive updates. That means support will end for all apps you've downloaded via the Amazon Appstore. They may become buggy or stop work entirely, and won't be able to receive any important security fixes either. In an FAQ, Amazon warned that these apps "will not be guaranteed to operate on Android devices". Amazon has already begun killing the Appstore off by blocking developers from uploading new apps to it. That change kicked in on February 20 this year.
