What is ICQ New? The comeback of the messaging legend

Over 20 years ago, when the Internet already existed but was still far from its current proportions, ICQ dominated the world of instant messaging. In the meantime, the former market leader is back on the scene.

Veterans remember: ICQ shaped the Internet culture at the turn of the millennium.

Not least because of the current situation surrounding WhatsApp, more and more users are looking for alternatives. The new ICQ comes just in time.

Newer, better, more comprehensive: That's ICQ New

The service has now been relaunched under the name ICQ New. This naming fulfills its purpose, as the same principle is used, but in a fresh guise:

• This already starts with the logo, which is a more modern version of the flower of yesteryear.
• Also in terms of content, ICQ should fully meet today's demands. In addition to the core function, instant chat, there are many interesting features such as the conversion of voice messages to text messages or vice versa.
• With Smart Replies, the service suggests suitable reply options.
• IQ New is also ideally suited for groups - the maximum number of members per group is namely 25,000.

ICQ New is available as a mobile app and in a Windows version for the desktop. The latter is not surprising, since the good old ICQ time took place exclusively on the PC - smartphones did not exist yet.Who still knows his login details from back then, can log into the new ICQ with it and see old chats. For this reason alone, the service should be interesting for many people.
