Google has already announced plans to shut down Google+. And now the company has officially announced the timeline for how and when Google+ will go away.
According to the reports starting from February 4th, you will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities, or events. Comments generated by Google+ on external websites will be removed from Blogger by February 4th and from other sites by March 7th. All your website comments made using Google+ will be deleted starting on April 2nd.
On April 2nd, all consumer Google+ content will be deleted. Which includes photos and videos from Google+ in your Album Archive as well as Google+ pages. Photos and videos saved on your Google Photos will not be deleted.
If you have used Google+ to sign into sites and apps, those buttons will stop working soon, but in some cases will be replaced by a Google sign-in button. In these instances, you’ll be able to sign in with your Google account in lieu of Google+.
Google said that it will take some time to delete all Google+ data, so some part of your account might still be visible over the next few months. Access to other Google services will not be impacted as part of the Google+ shutdown. If you are a G Suite customer, Google+ for your G Suite account will remain untouched, but expect a new look and additional features soon.
