Back in December, Google announced that it would shut down Google + sometime in April due to low usage and Google’s wish to shift its resources towards something else.
In a blog post, Google outlines its phasing out of the social network. Google + will begin to shut down personal (consumer) accounts beginning on April 2 and users will have until then to download all their Google + data. Pictures on Google Photos won’t be deleted.
Starting February 4, you won’t be able to create new Google + profiles, pages, communities, or events. In the coming weeks, you will not be able to sign into websites with Google + and may be replaced with a Google sign in button.
As for G Suite customers, these users’ Google + account will remain active. Google is only shutting down Google + for consumers, or those who don’t have a paid G Suite account.
Google + came at a time when Facebook was the dominant social media platform after the use of Myspace declined. It was thought that Google + might become the dominant force over Facebook as it slowly rose in popularity during its initial year. Unfortunately, the platform wasn’t compelling enough to keep people away from Facebook.

Hi my loved one! I wish to say that this article is awesome, nice written and come with approximately all important infos. I would like to peer extra posts like this .
Howdy! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does operating a well-established blog such as yours
require a large amount of work? I’m brand new to running a blog but I do write in my journal every day.
I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
Thankyou!
