Google may abandon Google+ no longer forcing user binding registration

Google has officially separated Google+ from its other services. Google announced on Monday that users will no longer need to use Google+ accounts when using Google's other services in the coming months, but only Google accounts. Google+ failed to attract enough users in the competition with Facebook and Twitter. A few months ago, Google no longer forced new users to create Google+ accounts. In addition, Google also split Google+'s photo features into a separate product, and Google said it will continue to implement this strategy in the future.

Bradley Horowitz of Google said: "We are integrating location sharing features into Hangouts and other applications. This is where these features really end. We think that such adjustments will bring a More focused, useful, and more interactive Google+."

He also said: “Unlike a public Google+ account, your Google account cannot be searched or noticed. For users who have already created a Google+ account but do not plan to use Google+ itself, we will provide better options for managing and removing these. Public account number."

YouTube will be the first Google service to abandon Google+. YouTube stated that from this week on, users’ comments on YouTube will no longer show Google+ accounts. However, in the coming months, functions such as creating YouTube channels, uploading videos, and commenting still need Google+ accounts. YouTube also reminds users not to delete the Google+ account until this time, because doing so means clearing all records on YouTube.

Google stated that Google+ will not disappear and will continue to provide services to users who love Google+'s "interest-based social experience." However, for other users, it will be more convenient to stop using Google+.
