Learn about Google Talk for third-party apps
We’re winding down Google Talk. On 16 June 2022, we'll end our support for third-party apps, including Pidgin and Gajim, as we announced in 2017.
To continue to chat with your contacts, we recommend using Google Chat. You can more easily plan with others, share and collaborate on files and assign tasks with Chat's enhanced Spaces feature. You also have the same strong phishing protections that we build in Gmail and accessibility features such as screen reader support.
