At Phones Canada, we understand how rumors can spread like wildfire in the tech world. From alleged partnerships ending to popular services shutting down, it’s essential to separate fact from fiction. Recently, there have been talks about Gmail possibly shutting down, causing quite a stir among users.

A viral post circulating on X/Twitter suggests that Gmail will be officially sunsetted in 2024, with a message claiming that the service will cease to support sending, receiving, or storing emails. This news comes hot on the heels of Google’s announcement about Google Pay shutting down in June.

Now, before you panic and start looking for alternative email services, let’s set the record straight: the rumors about Gmail shutting down are not true. While Google has a history of discontinuing apps and services (totaling 293 so far), Gmail is not one of them.

However, there is a grain of truth in the satirical post regarding Google sunsetting Gmail. This year, Google is indeed phasing out Basic HTML view on Gmail as per an email from 2023. But fret not! Google has provided a transition guide to help users adjust to this change seamlessly.

So rest assured, Gmail isn’t going anywhere just yet. As always, it’s essential to stay informed and rely on credible sources for tech news updates. Stay tuned to Phones Canada for more reliable information on telecommunications trends and updates.
