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.

icq died a long time ago, with its soul, the xtras, ripped out it remained an empty husk, a zombie walking under its new master, a russion company desperatly trying to have their own whats app clone
