Google+ profile links have began disappearing from Google

Check the arrow in the diagram, you will see the + sign after the name has disappeared

Google has recently made a little change to its services, with the disappearance of the Google+ profile link from its popular platforms like Gmail or Maps. You will notice that your name at the top right that would link to your Google+ profile is no more linking.

If you observe now, you will notice that it is, in fact, just your name and is no longer linked to your Google+ profile. The search giant has un-linked all its services from Google+ so you will no longer see profile links while using other Google services.

Recently Google launched the updated Photos service, which also got separated from Google+ and turned into a standalone service. Rumors have been on for a while now that  Google+ may soon fade away, and all the recent decisions makes tech enthusiasts feel more certain that either Google+’s days are numbered or that it will be relegated to a small part of the company and not given much focus.

Google+ ever since its creation has not yielded the expected result unlike its major rival Facebook which has witnessed massive success. Lets just keep our fingers crossed and see what Google's next action will be. Whats you take on this? Would you prefer Google to stay?
