Google Currents, formerly known as Google+ for G Suite, is software developed by Google for internal enterprise communication.[1][2] It is one of many products that constitute the Google Workspace line of products.[3]
Google Currents is different from the defunct Google app of the same name, which provided users with access to an electronic library of magazines from 2011 to 2013.[4][5] It will be replaced by the Spaces feature in Google Chat in 2023.
Originally called Google+ for G Suite, Currents is the sole remnant of Google's defunct social network Google+, which the company shut down entirely for personal and brand use on April 2, 2019.[6][7]
As of June 2020, Google Currents is in Public Beta for Google Workspace clients. A free trial can be requested.[8][9][10]
On February 10, 2022, Google announced that it would be planning to "wind down" Google Currents and transition its users to the Spaces feature in Google Chat the next year.[11]
