So, what is the true story, is Gmail shutting down? While Google hasn’t officially made any comment on this rumour, Gmail has used its social clout to put away the concerns of its users, with a simple post on X which says, “Gmail is here to stay.” The actual rumour suggested Gmail will stop working from August 1, 2024 which has caused a lot of confusion among the billions of users who use the mailing client for different purposes.

Imagine if Google decides to shut down Gmail, the level of panic it will cause in the market is undeniable. Gmail is not only used by personal users, but Google also offers its enterprise customers with customised Gmail IDs.

That’s not all, Gmail IDs are used across third-party apps for signing in, and yes, how can we forget the use of Gmail ID to have an Android phone. Days like these will have millions scared for their digital existence, and giving the regulators one more reason to reduce the dependence on one app for so many things.

Google has made it easy to believe in these rumours, purely because of its recent history with products that were randomly shut down. Stadia is one of the most recent products that Google decided to end supporting, leaving thousands of Stadia gamers scratching their heads about these moves. While Google will continue to end support for products, it will be extremely puzzling to see the company shut down Gmail anytime soon.
