VK announced the closure of the ICQ messenger, the legendary "Asya," starting June 26, 2024. Support for the ICQ messenger will cease from June 26. The service's application has already disappeared from the AppStore and Google Play stores. Many Russian users began their exploration of the Global Network and the world of virtual communication with ICQ. In 2013, the messenger's monthly audience in Russia reached 79 million people, but now Russians prefer other social networks. The company wants to focus on developing "VK Messenger" and the corporate service based on the VK WorkSpace platform. The ICQ team will be involved in these projects. In the early 2000s, ICQ was one of the most popular communication services. In 2010, the Russian investment fund Digital Sky Technologies bought it from the American company AOL for 187.5 million dollars. In 2020, Mail.ru (now VK) relaunched it. In a month, a final point will be placed in the history of this cult messenger. And we realized that we will never be able to return to 2007.
