Meet Currents, Google+ replacement for G Suite users

At the Cloud ‘19 event, Google announced multiple G Suite updates, including the launch of Currents.

The beta app is the latest addition to the G Suite ecosystem for enterprises.

As Google explains in its blog, Currents enable people to have meaningful discussions and interactions across your organisation -- basically an internal social network for company employees.

Currents are replacing Google+ for G Suite. Once admins enrol for the beta by requesting access for the organisation through emailing to CurrentsBeta@google.com, all of the existing Google+ content will automatically transfer to Currents.

Google killed its Google+ service earlier this month after security vulnerabilities. However, the G Suite version was not pulled down, perhaps to gradually help enterprises embrace Currents.
