ICQ will stop working on June 26. It’s encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn’t know anything of it still remained.

I know, right? ICQ managed to survive when MSN, Yahoo and AIM were all killed by Facebook Messenger?
