Google+ account no longer required to write reviews on Play Store
A couple of days after there were
reports that the Play Store no longer requires you to have a Google+ profile to
write reviews, Google has confirmed the change. "A G+ profile is no longer
needed to post a review," the company said.
It's worth mentioning that the
change may not be available to everyone just yet as it's still rolling out.
This comes over an year after
Google disconnected Google+ from YouTube. "People have told us that
accessing all of their Google stuff with one account makes life a whole lot
easier," the company had said at that time. "But 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."
In case you don't already know,
Vic Gundotra, the father of Google+ left the project as well as the
company back in April 2014. He worked for Google for close to eight years.
