Lessons to learn from major apps that are fated to die

Google’s social network Google+ will no longer be available to the general public from April. Launched in 2011 to compete with Facebook, the platform failed to make a significant impact on the social media ecosystem.

Google+, however, is not the only Google app that will be killed. Google’s email app Inbox, too, will be scrapped in March as many of its features have been integrated into the primary Gmail app. Moreover, the commercial version of Hangouts’ messenger and Duo will also go sometime in 2020 since Google plans to launch eight new messaging platforms by then.
