Google+ will bid farewell to its users on April 2

Google took the decision last year to close it after the disclosure of a security vulnerability. Yesterday it announced the exact termination date which is April 2, 2019.

You will remember her vulnerability revealed for Google+ which resulted in the leakage of information for 52,5 million users. After this scandal, the parent company, Google, decided to end the social network once and for all, since it never managed to reach customers and users anyway.

Yesterday, with an announcement, revealed that Google+ will no longer exist after April 2, 2019. The buisness version will continue to exist, as originally announced.

Although you still have two months until April 2, from February 4 you will not be able to create new profiles, pages, communities and events. The company will also close the possibility of using Google+ for comments on . In the coming weeks, Google+ sign-in buttons will stop working and in some cases will be replaced by Google sign-in buttons. However will remain visible until the day of closure, at which time all user accounts and pages will be closed, and all Google+ comments users have made over the past few years will be deleted.

Since some communities may have accumulated interesting and important , the company will give admins the ability to download their data sometime in early March.

There seems to be no way Google can change its mind. However, its customers G Suite will continue to have access to Google+ buisness services and will soon have a new look and new features.
