Why is Google+ Shuting Down?

Marketa H.  Web from Home
I think it is mainly because of low usage. Google wants to concentrate to the most profitable services only and is not interested to offer a broad range of possibilities.

I think, the best answer so far is; Sumit P SEO Executive...Google admits that Google+ has failed to achieve broad consumer or developer adoption since its introduction.

Google is shutting down Google+ for consumers following a security breach.

A software bug was discovered that gave developers access to private profile data of over 500,000 users.

However, Google says that there is no evidence of developers being aware of this bug. There is also no evidence that any data has been misused.

The bug was discovered in March 2018. A report in the Wall Street Journal says Google did not disclose this information sooner because it feared regulatory scrutiny.

Here's an update on Google+:

As early as February 4th, you will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities or events.

f you’ve used Google+ for comments on your own or other sites, this feature will be removed from Blogger by February 4th and other sites by March 7th. All your Google+ comments on all sites will be deleted starting April 2, 2019.

If you’re a G Suite customer, Google+ for your G Suite account should remain active. Contact your G Suite administrator for more details. You can also expect a new look and new features soon.

Hope that helps!

Your Google+ account is going away April 2, 2019. Downloading your Google+ content may take time, so get started before March 31, 2019.

At the end, it was just the poor usage compared to other social platforms. If they had a security breach, they would've fixed it and come up with a more secure platform.

When something declines in use, it is normally supressed. They hope Google plus make an impact for massive adoption but time proved them wrong. This kind of move is common in business. They don't want to waste time in something that will not grow as much as they aspire.
