The company mentioned via a blogpost that, “While today we provide basic interoperation between the legacy product and the new Messenger, we encourage all of our users to complete their transition to the new Yahoo Messenger as we will no longer support the legacy platform as of August 5, 2016. We intend to continue our focused efforts on the new Messenger, with a goal of delivering the best experience to our users.”
Yahoo Messenger app was launched in 1998. The company, however revamped the older Messenger app with a new version in December 2015. “This complete revamp brings users an incredibly fast, beautiful and smart way to send – and unsend – messages, photos and animated GIFs in 1:1 and group conversations,” according to the blog post.
The company will now focus on other core products such as Mail, Search, tumblr, News, Sports, Finance and Lifestyles. The company has announced it will also discontinue Yahoo Recommends, a personalised widget service which provides links to similar articles to the readers, from September 1.
