Google Currents was a software application 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 was different from the also 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 was replaced by the Spaces feature in Google Chat in March 2023. Google announced shutting down for business and education on July 5, 2023.[6]
