While its popularity has dropped significantly Yahoo Messenger was still on the market. This is going to be different soon, though. Because it has already been confirmed that the application will close its doors permanently. It will be 17 July when it will close forever, after twenty years of existence on the world market.
Yahoo Messenger will close on July 17
The application began in 1998, for computers, and also made its transition to mobile phones. But the competition has been too much for the application over time.
Goodbye Yahoo Messenger
So far, no official reasons have been given why the application will be closed. However, the most logical thing is that it is because of the competition since applications such as Telegram or WhatsApp are the ones that dominate the market. So they’ve been kicking applications like Yahoo’s off the market. A big messenger who’s leaving now.
Users who have an account in the application can download their data from it. As long as they do so before July 17. This way you won’t lose any of the data you have stored in Yahoo Messenger.
It’s definitely an important farewell. Because it is one of the most important messaging applications in recent years. Although its time has passed, so it is no surprise that the application is closing its doors. What do you think about closing the Yahoo application?
