ICQ: Does Messenger still exist?
ICQ is not dead, the software is available free of charge for your Windows PC, as a browser application and for smartphones under iOS and Android.
- For a long time, ICQ was one of the most popular messengers, but continued to degrade over the years. When the smartphone replaced the PC, alternatives such as Skype and WhatsApp won the race.
- In 2012 the new version 8 of ICQ was released. With the new design and new functions, ICQ finally wanted to do something about the falling number of users.
- Among other things, you can call mobile and landline numbers at low prices, just like in Skype. It is now also possible to access your emails in ICQ.
- ICQ is now owned by the Mail.ru Group and has not received an update for 3 years. Nevertheless, the number of users in South America has been increasing again since 2014. ICQ is being used more and more, especially in Brazil.
- Even if growth in Europe, Russia and South America is targeted, the number of users in Germany continues towards the basement. ICQ still exists, but you won't find many friends in Messenger in Germany. Skype and WhatsApp are much more popular.
