Recently I have received a mail from Google that my personal Google+ Account is going away on April 2, 2019
I have received this email because I am a consumer (personal) Google+ account or I manage a Google+ page
In December 2018, Google announced the decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019 due to low usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers' expectations. Google want to thanks for being part of Google+ and provide next steps, including how to download our photos and other content.
On April 2nd, our Google+ account and any Google+ pages we created will be shut down and Google will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts.
Photos and videos from Google+ in our Album Archive and our Google+ pages will also be deleted. We can download and save our content, just make sure to do so before April. Note that photos and videos backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted.
The process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts, Google+ Pages, and Album Archive will take a few months, and content may remain through this time. For example, users may still see parts of their Google+ account via activity log and some consumer Google+ content may remain visible to G Suite users until consumer Google+ is deleted.
Already from February 4th, we will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities or events.
See the full FAQ for more details and updates leading up to the shutdown.
