- Google will finally kill the Google Now Launcher this month, according to some code sleuthing.
- The news comes several years after Google pulled the launcher from the Play Store.
Google hasn’t always used the Pixel Launcher as the home screen experience for its phones. The company previously used the Google Now Launcher for its Nexus line of phones in the early 2010s, also making this software available to phones from other brands.
Now, 9to5Google has dug into the latest Google beta app (version 14.14), discovering that the launcher will stop working in April. Check out the relevant screenshot obtained from the app below.
