Google+ is officially killed, starting to delete user accounts

Since yesterday (April 2, 2019), social network Google Plus (Google+) has been closed, user accounts have been deleted (including personal pages and comments), login buttons Google+ will disappear.

8 years ago (2011), Google Plus social network (Google+) was introduced to users and is considered a potential platform, can face directly with Facebook. To increase the number of users on this platform, Google has forced users to sign in with Google+ to be able to comment on YouTube. But after many efforts by Google, this social network is still "premature", becoming a failed product in the process of dominating its social networking market.

However, during operation, Google+ also has a certain influence on other social networks. For example, Facebook has 'learned' features to create small groups (circles) of friends with similar interests of Google+ to create Groups (or Groups) or Instagram 'borrow' features to contact close friends. set and turn into close friends feature.

But all that still can't help Google+ grow, 90% of social network users only log in and almost exit immediately, within 5 seconds. This number of Facebook up to 20 minutes, can see that Google+ has no door to compete with Facebook.

In October last year, Google announced information that more than 500,000 people with Google+ accounts were exposed to personal information due to a security vulnerability. This made Google decide to end the fate of this dying platform four months earlier than originally planned.

On April 2, Google officially closed Google+.
