Google will celebrate almost 10 years since the launch of Google Now by shutting down the service on Android, with the end of service coming later in April. Although it was revealed that they were going to take it off the air, an update that was made available yesterday did not give a date for its shutdown, in line with the official statement from the company, which has so far remained silent on the matter. , this text was written.

The information appeared in the update of the beta testing group, which introduced version v14.14, which displays the following message: “Your launcher will be changed to the default launcher for this device.” If you want to keep it in use, which is important in your daily life, it is recommended that you never update the app on your smartphone again. Maybe there will never be more updates.

It is worth remembering that it has not been used as a default launcher for a long time, about 6 years. To activate it, you will need to download it as an app from the Google Play Store and change it to be the default on your device. Even on the company’s own smartphones, it is no longer used, replaced by Pixel’s own launcher. We also have to warn you that it has been silently removed by Google Assistant, which will continue to work until the company decides to shut it down as well.

The end of an era that has already been closed

The Google Now launcher came along with the launch of the Nexus 5 in 2014 and focused on creating an attractive user interface for maps that are part of the Google group. It was known as the Google Experience Launcher in 2013, but with the advent of Android 4.1, it became LNG and served as a support for many people over the years. At that time, compared to others, it had a cleaner and more user-friendly design for those who took advantage of the services offered by its platform.

While many would consider it “the end of an era,” it has fallen into disuse with the developments in technology that we are currently seeing. That is, at present, very few people have to use it due to the need to download and change the default launcher, which does not justify the work of the entire development team to continue offering the service.
