Relax, your Google account is not going anywhere, but Google+ is

When Google sent an email in February to its users with the title, “Your personal Google+ account is going away on April 2, 2019,” things could not have been clearer. Or, so they thought!

The subject line of the email has left many confused over the shutdown with many speculating if their Google account was being shut down altogether.

Chrome Unboxed explained that the confusion arose as a large number of users happen to have Google+ accounts without even realising it. Moreover, many users went over Google and account in the subject line of the email in the same sentence. As many were unaware that they hekd a Google+ account at all, they feared the company was shutting down their Google accounts instead.
