Call Annie discontinuation observed by MacRumors; operator homepage confirms ↗ · Checked 10 Oct 2026
Sources and verification
- Shutdown
- The displayed May 19, 2026 date is inferred: it is the publication day, in PDT, of Tim Hardwick’s original MacRumors report observing that the operator’s website already said the Call Annie app had been discontinued. It is a dated observation proxy, not the independently established service-cutoff day or closure-announcement day; both remain unknown. The current operator homepage was also personally read and still expressly confirms completed discontinuation. This covers the complete consumer Call Annie app, not Animato Studio, an individual model/API, or every Animato offering. Residual Developer API/sign-in links do not establish that the consumer app continues. The report discusses an Apple talent/IP agreement; the shutdown is supported by the separate explicit app-discontinuation statement, not inferred from that agreement. Cutoff hour and time zone are unknown. The 2023 privacy policy identifies Animato, Inc. and a Sunnyvale postal contact; it is historical legal-mailing evidence, not a shutdown-date office, server location or coordinates. Closure source
