In case you didn’t get the memo… or the email… you should go and save your Google+ content before March 31st, 2019. That’s because Google+ is shutting down, and if you don’t save your content before that date, it will be lost forever, you won’t be able to get it back.
I wrote an article about G+ shutting down here:
Your Google+ account and page is going away on April 2, 2019
Here is the email I received about it:
You’ve received this email because you have content in Google+ for your personal (consumer) account or a Google+ page you manage.
This is a reminder that on April 2, 2019 we’re shutting down consumer Google+ and will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts. Photos and videos from Google+ in your Album Archive and your Google+ pages will also be deleted.
Downloading your Google+ content may take time, so get started before March 31, 2019.
No other Google products (such as Gmail, Google Photos, Google Drive, YouTube) will be shut down as part of the consumer Google+ shutdown, and the Google Account you use to sign in to these services will remain. Note that photos and videos already backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted.
For more information, see the full Google+ shutdown FAQ.
From all of us on the Google+ team, thank you for making Google+ such a special place.

You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google+ Page, product or account.
So there you go. Save your content – photos, texts, videos, etc. Then take one last look at Google+, and say goodbye.
Here is a video I made about the situation:
Conclusion
There’s really not much else to say. I’m just posting this as a little reminder for my readers, or in case you missed it completely, so that you don’t lose your stuff.
Goodbye Google+, let’s see what comes next.
