ICQ was a popular instant messaging service in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was developed by the Israeli company Mirabilis and was later acquired by AOL. ICQ allowed users to communicate with each other in real time through a variety of methods, including text messaging, voice calls, and file sharing.
Users had to create an ICQ account and install the ICQ client on their computer or mobile device to use ICQ. The ICQ client was a software program that connected users to the ICQ network and allowed them to communicate with other users.
Creating an ICQ account was simple and required only a few basic details, such as a username, password, and email address. Once an account was created, users could add their friends and contacts to their ICQ “buddy list” and start chatting with them. ICQ also had several other features, including the ability to send and receive offline messages, participate in group chats, and access a variety of emoticons and other graphical elements to express oneself.
ICQ was one of the first instant messaging services to gain widespread popularity and helped pave the way for modern messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. Although ICQ is no longer as popular as it once was, it still has a dedicated user base and is available for download on a variety of platforms.

What happens if I delete my account?
If you delete your account, it will typically be permanently removed from the system and you will no longer be able to access it or the services it was associated with. This means that any content or information you had associated with the account will also be permanently removed and will not be recoverable. It is important to carefully consider the consequences of deleting your account, as this action is usually irreversible. If you are unsure about whether you want to delete your account, you may want to consider deactivating it instead, which allows you to temporarily disable it and retain access to your account and its associated content in case you change your mind.
Can ICQ terminated my account for no apparent reason?
ICQ is a messaging app owned by Mail.Ru Group, a Russian internet company. As with any online service, it is possible that ICQ could terminate a user’s account for various reasons. Some possible reasons for account termination could include violating the terms of service, using the app for illegal or malicious activities, or if the user’s account is deemed to be inactive for an extended period of time. It is important for users to familiarize themselves with the terms of service of any online service they use, and to use the service responsibly and in accordance with those terms. If you believe that your ICQ account has been terminated unfairly, you may be able to appeal the decision or contact ICQ customer support for more information.
