# FCM legacy API Migration Guide

Starting June 01, 2024, Google will discontinue support for sending mobile push notifications via the [legacy FCM v1 APIs](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/migrate-v1). To avoid disruption to the notification service on your platform applications, we recommend planning and migrating them before this date. For guidance on migration, please refer to the documentation provided here.
