<p>The tech giant will start by no longer accepting new Google+ account creations “as early as February 4”, Google announced, before closing the doors on the service to all users by April 2.</p>
<p>Members have been urged to download and save any content on the social network before the cut off date.</p>
<p>“On April 2, your Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts,” Google said.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>

<p>It had originally set a closure date of August 2019, but decided to move it forward to April following the emergence of a second bug on the platform.</p>
<p>Google+ is also used as a sign-in button on some third-party websites – this will cease to function in the coming weeks, though in some cases it will be replaced by a standard Google Account button.</p>
<p>However, the site will live on for business users using Google+ for G Suite.</p>
<p>Google+ first launched in June 2011, but struggled to compete against Facebook in the social media sector.</p>
