In January 2018 Google planned the final releases of AngularJS before ending long-term support in 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic they extended support until December 31, 2021. This date has now passed so AngularJS is no longer a supported framework.
Web app developers are now advised to update any web apps developed using the now deprecated AngularJS framework and to instead recode such apps to use its successor, Angular, to benefit from increased productivity, scalability and improved performance. As of January 1, 2022, Google no longer updates AngularJS to fix security, browser compatibility or jQuery issues!
