Google felt obligated to offer its response to a nonsense Gmail report that has been making the rounds. That rumor basically said that Google is sunsetting Gmail, in other words, killing the service altogether.
Google is infamous for killing off services, so rumors like these are easier to believe
Google is well-known for killing off products, the company became rather infamous for it over the years. There’s even a website for it, https://killedbygoogle.com/. So hoax rumors like these are easier to believe, even though this one was obviously a fake.
Gmail is the most recognizable emailing service in the world. On top of that, your Google account is tied to a Gmail address, as are your logins to various services. Gmail is not going anywhere, and thanks to this hoax rumor, Google felt obligated to respond.
Nonsense Gmail rumor pushed Google to offer its response
The company went to X (formerly known as Twitter) and simply wrote “Gmail is here to stay”. Where did this rumor originate from, though? Well, we’re not sure, but users seem to be getting notified that it’s happening.
If you check out the post from X, embedded below, you’ll see a user ‘Daniel’ sharing the information. He actually believed that Gmail was going away, based on his comment, which you can see below.

Users seemingly received notifications that claim Gmail is going away
In the letter that he received, which looks somewhat plausible, the title says “Google is sunsetting Gmail”. The date mentioned is August 1, 2024. The letter alleged that Gmail will “no longer support sending, receiving, or storing emails”.
There’s even an explanation for why Gmail is “sunsetting”, which is just a bunch of nonsense. Gmail is not going anywhere, as many of you immediately realized upon seeing this letter for the first time.
We presume that he got this letter via email, and he probably didn’t realize that the email address it came from is fake, or something of the sort. We’re only guessing, of course.
