As a result of changes to Google’s API and service infrastructure in 2018, some older versions of G Suite desktop and mobile apps may stop working on August 12, 2020. In particular, versions released prior to December 2018 may be impacted. These apps must be updated to ensure the highest level of performance and security.
To ensure your workflows are not disrupted, you should update the following Google apps to the latest versions as soon as possible:
- Google Classroom iOS app
- Google Docs Android and iOS apps
- Google Drive Android and iOS apps
- Google Drive File Stream desktop app
- Gmail iOS app
- Google Sheets Android and iOS apps
- Google Slides Android and iOS apps
According to Google, you will need to update your G Suite desktop and mobile apps by August 12, 2020, to ensure they continue working. Google’s changes could take 3 days or longer to begin to affect U-M Google. If you have already recently updated your applications, then there is no action needed on your end.
