Google has previously offered a URL shortening service, called Goo.gl. However, after offering a URL shortening service for several years, the service was discontinued last 2019, leaving no more new links to be generated.
Now, an extension of that, Google announced that all links generated will no longer operate after August 25, 2025.
Google stated that effective August 23, 2024, they will begin to display a notification that the link will cease to operate soon, and then terminate after an interval of one year.
Since no new links have been generated in the last 5 years or so, it is likely that the impact of this change will be small. As for you, when was the last time you came across this Goo.gl link share?
