Google retiring goo.gl short links, moving to Firebase Dynamic Links. Current goo.gl links will continue to work indefinitely.

Existing goo.gl links will continue to redirect to their intended destination. The new Firebase Dynamic Links work with web pages, mobile apps, home assistants and more.

* April 13, 2018: Anonymous users and people who have not created goo.gl short links before today, will not be able to create a goo.gl link

* March 30, 2019: current users can continue to use the goo.gl console through this date to manage short links and analytics

* You will be able to export your link information from the goo.gl console

* Start using Firebase Dynamic Links now

To refocus our efforts, we’re turning down support for goo.gl over the coming weeks and replacing it with Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL). FDLs are smart URLs that allow you to send existing and potential users to any location within an iOS, Android or web app. We’re excited to grow and improve the product going forward. While most features of goo.gl will eventually sunset, all existing links will continue to redirect to the intended destination.
