A short while later, Google decided to pull the plug on Panoramio permanently, but this time, along with the announcement, they also gave users a road map for the transition to the newer integrated platform. The tech giant has been known to discontinue services that they felt have outlived their application and Panoramio met the same fate.
Here’s what Google offered their users to help make the transition smoother –
- For users who had linked their Panoramio and Google+ accounts, Google would automatically copy their images to a Google Album archive. This way, their effort would not be in vain.
- Users would be able to access their content on Panoramia for one whole year after the service was discontinued.
Obviously, some of the loyal Panoramia users were left fuming, but nothing can stop technological evolution and over time, this solution was accepted.
