Meta Platforms will discontinue its Workplace app, a business-focused social and productivity tool.

Workplace will remain operational until August 31st, 2025, with read- and export-only access until June 1st, 2026, followed by data deletion.

Meta offers a 50 percent discount on Workplace from September and aids customers transitioning to Zoom's Workvivo.

The discontinuation aligns with Meta's strategic shift to AI and metaverse technologies.

Concerns over rising costs and a post-pandemic slowdown in development influenced the decision to end Workplace.

Meta considered spinning off Workplace but opted for closure to refocus on metaverse and AI investments.
