Google has revealed its plan to begin slicing out its strict policies which forces users to set up a Google+ account before being allowed to useother services of the company. Users will no longer be obliged to use their G+ identity in other services and websites.
Google's Vice President for streams, photos, and sharing Bradley Horowitz revealed that the move was a response to the protests of the users who got angry after being forced to integrate their G+ account to the other services offered by the company.
In a blog post, Horowitz states that, "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."
Google will start removing G+ from its Photos app. The tech has also stopped requiring Youtube commenters to use their G+ account which gained many complaints and criticisms. The said policy will still be present but the company will no longer make it public by default.
As of January 2015, Google+ had 4-6 million users utilizing its features. On his personal G+ page, the Vice President publicly shared his opinion and plans for the social network. Horowitz himself revealed that he was personally relieved by the integration policy which is now being removed.
According to the SPS Vice President, Google+ will now be free to focus on doing things where it excels which is aiding millions of users from different parts of the globe to connect with the interest they love.
Originally, the social network was designed to unify Google's sharing model but later integrated to Youtube and other services which confused the users. The multinational company then decided to fix the issue.
Google will now allow users to use and enjoy Google+ services without linking it to their other accounts.
