Technology major Google confirmed that it would shut down its Google+ social media service in April, which is four months ahead of schedule. The revelation came after Google found a software glitch for second time during this year which allowed partner apps to access its users’ private data.
The glitch has affected close to 52.5 million Google+ users across the world. The company had said in October this year that it would shut down the consumer version Google+ in August 2019 as it would be too challenging for it to maintain its unpopular social media platform.
