Google shutting down Google+ Photos starting August 1st
In deference to their new standalone Google Photos platform that was launched in May, Google has announced that they will start the process of shutting down Google+ Photos on August 1st. This is a rather quick move for Google which seems to keep older platforms lingering for a while. However, the Google+ team says this move is meant to “ensure everyone has the best photos experience” that Google can deliver.
The shutdown will occur in stages with the first platform to get the axe being Google+ Photos on Android. That will be followed by the web interface and iOS. The Google+ team promises all photos and videos currently available through Google+ will continue to be available in the new Google Photos app.
Are you looking forward to using the Google Photos app exclusively for all your images and videos stored through Google+?
