Google has clarified that Gmail is not shutting down, debunking rumors circulated on social media. A screenshot claimed Gmail would be "sunsetted" on August 1, 2024, ending its email services. However, Google confirmed Gmail will continue as usual. The rumors followed backlash over Google's AI image tool, Gemini. Tech experts clarified that Gmail discontinued its HTML-only version in January 2024, but the standard @gmail service will continue normally.
