    Yahoo! Messenger shut down in 2018
    MSN Messenger discontinued in 2013
    AIM Messenger discontinued in 2017

    ICQ was really the last of them and it’s ending quite an era. This is, officially, the end of the Messengers.

      Msn was the best, I’ll never forgive Microsoft for killing it in favour of Skype.

      WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, etc. It’s hardly the end, the market has just been gobbled up by the big players as usual

        One thing those old ones did was have conversations in their own windows. I much prefer that over having to navigate back and forth in the same damn window to jump between convos.
