If you were one of those who embraced Google+ as an alternative to Facebook, Twitter and other social networks, the time has come to say goodbye to Google’s last attempt to create an online community that tied together its users and various apps and services.

On April 2, Google intends to shutdown Google+ for consumers. It intends to rework the social network for enterprise customers, it said.

Why is this happening?

Google has said it closing Google+ because the service isn’t well used, making it difficult to maintain to the high standards people would expect.

But there may be other factors at play as well. Google+ suffered a major data leak in March 2018 and not long after announced the closure of Google+ by August 2019.

Then, in December 2018, Google said it had discovered a bug in a Google+ API in November. The post said “No third party compromised our systems, and we have no evidence that the app developers that inadvertently had this access for six days were aware of it or misused it in any way.” Still, this prompted Google to bring the closure of Google+ forward, to April 2019.

Unsure if you have a Google+ account?

Google said it email everyone who has a consumer Google+ account. For peace of mind you can check if you have an account with these simple steps:
