Google Updates goo.gl URL Shortener: Some Links Expiring August 25th

Google previously announced the discontinuation of goo.gl URL shortening service on August 25, 2025, but has adjusted its approach. Inactive goo.gl links from late 2024 will be deactivated; accessing them will display a message indicating their impending expiration. All other actively used goo.gl links will remain functional. Google recommends users migrate affected links to alternative URL shortening services.
