AOL wrote Friday that its AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) will be shutting down after 20 years of running.
“We know there are so many loyal fans who have used AIM for decades; and we loved working and building the first chat app of its kind since 1997,” AOL wrote on the AIM help page.
“Our focus will always be on providing the kind of innovative experiences consumers want. We’re more excited than ever to focus on building the next generation of iconic brands and life-changing products.”
If you used to use the application and are feeling nostalgic for cheesy away messages or conversations with old friends, AOL said users can continue to download or save files until Dec. 15.
After that, the information will be gone.
