Google+ bids goodbye (June 2011 - August 2019)



Last October 8, 2018, Google announced they will be shutting down Google+ due to low user engagement and a software error. In Spite of incorporating it with Google's successful products like Gmail, Blogger, YouTube, Google+ still has low engagement and in Google's own words, "90 percent of Googe+ users session are less that five seconds." *(I agree with this as I, myself couldn't remember the last time I visited Google+ :)).

Google said that Google+ will fully bid goodbye on August 2019 to allow users to download and migrate their account information.
