Google Currents is entirely unrelated to the defunct Google app of the same name, which provided users with access to an electronic library of magazines from 2011 to 2013.[3][4]

History and development

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.[5][6]

As of February 2020, Google Currents was still in development, its beta version is now closed and will not accept any new requests by G Suite clients.[7][8][9]
