Yahoo to shut down its "Messenger" service

Come August 5, 2016, the good old Messenger of Yahoo, will not longer be functional. The troubled internet company has decided to discontinue the old version of its messaging service for good. The new Yahoo Messenger will become the sole way of exchanging messages, emojis, or GIFs. Yahoo is asking users to upgrade to the new version because from August, users of the old service will not be able to send or receive messages. The new upgraded version of the messaging service has features like instant photo sharing and also an option to unsend messages.
