TL;DR

Google Earth Pro will no longer be available as a desktop app starting next year.

Google wants users to switch to the web or mobile versions of Google Earth.

Fans aren’t happy and say the current web interface lacks the flexibility of the desktop version.

There are plenty of great Google apps now biting the dust in the graveyard , and another juggernaut will join the league soon (partially, at least). Google Earth Pro, which millions of users use for geospatial exploration and have likely used at least once to view their house from satellite imagery, will soon no longer be available as a desktop app.

Google has announced it will end support for Earth Pro on desktop on June 25, 2027, leaving behind web and mobile apps as the only ways to access 3D replicas of Earth, the Moon, Mars, and parts of outer space. A Google Community manager recently broke the news on a support page, while the desktop apps have also started informing users about the impending death.
