History
2go was created in 2007 in Johannesburg, South Africa, by a group of University of Witwatersrand computer science students. The service was originally developed as a students-only mobile website intended to function as a communication tool for students.[1] 2go eventually[when?] moved away from the students-only model and targeted developing markets in Africa such as Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.[1][2]
By 2018, the app had lost most of its users with suggestions that its failure to adapt to the growth of Android was to blame.[3]
