Gmail will stop working for some users in 2021 - are you affected by Google's change?

Google says that its Workspace suit of apps which include Gmail, Meet, Calendar and Drive will officially stop supporting IE 11 on March 15, 2021.

The reason that Google is ending support is due to the fact that Microsoft recently announced that they will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11.

In a post on its blog, Google said: “We recommend our own users switch to a different browser as soon as possible, to avoid any possible disruptions in service such as degraded performance or security vulnerabilities. Google Workspace will officially stop supporting IE 11 on March 15, 2021.

“Over the next few weeks we’ll start showing a banner to all Google Workspace users still using IE 11 that informs them of the need to upgrade their browser by March 15, 2021.”
