From Google:
When we launched Google+, we set out to help people discover, share and
connect across Google like they do in real life. While we got certain
things right, we made a few choices that, in hindsight, we’ve needed to
rethink. So over the next few months, we’re going to be making some
important changes. Here’s more about what you can expect:
A more focused Google+ experience
Google+ is quickly becoming a place where people engage around their
shared interests, with the content and people who inspire them. In line
with that focus, we’re continuing to add new features like Google+ Collections,
where you can share and enjoy posts organized by the topics you care
about. At the same time, we’ll also move some features that aren’t
essential to an interest-based social experience out of Google+. For
example, many elements of Google+ Photos have been moved into the new
Google Photos app, and we’re well underway putting location sharing into
Hangouts and other apps, where it really belongs. We think changes like
these will lead to a more focused, more useful, more engaging Google+.
Using Google without a Google+ profile
People have told us that accessing all of their Google stuff with one
account makes life a whole lot easier. But we’ve also heard that it
doesn’t make sense for your Google+ profile to be your identity in all
the other Google products you use.
So in the coming months, a Google Account will be all you’ll need to
share content, communicate with contacts, create a YouTube channel and
more, all across Google. YouTube will be one of the first products to
make this change, and you can learn more on their blog.
As always, your underlying Google Account won’t be searchable or
followable, unlike public Google+ profiles. And for people who already
created Google+ profiles but don’t plan to use Google+ itself, we’ll
offer better options for managing and removing those public profiles.
You’ll see these changes roll out in stages over several months. While
they won’t happen overnight, they’re right for Google’s users—
