So, Google began disconnecting it from its other platforms. The result has been prying Google+ from some of its most used services such as YouTube and now the Play Store. Well, today Google hammered another nail in its coffin by making it possible for users to post reviews in Google Play without the need for a Google+ account.

Several users have started reporting they are now able to post reviews on Google Play without their Google+ account. We’ve tried to leave a book review by visiting Play Store via laptop and the system required us to create a Google+ profile.
The search giant has now changed its mind and policy as well. Then previous year, it removed Google + from its Photos app and launched Google Photos as a standalone app. When installing apps, some of the more social ones that share progress-like gaming apps-ask for specific details to share with Google+ and can be tedious if you prefer going through all of the social stuff and marking stuff private.
Later, Google also disconnected YouTube from the Google+ so people did not need to make a Google+ profile to do activities on YouTube.

Google seems to be realizing, at long last, that very, very few people care about Google+. Strictly speaking, it is still alive but for how long it will stay like this, we will have to wait and watch.
