How To Opt Out Of And ManageThe Most Important Google+ Settings

 

 

Google+ is the rave. It did not take long for the social community to fall in love and abandon their beloved Twitter and Facebook accounts and be incredibly apologetic about their absence. It so far has been living up to the love it has been given however, with any new platform we have to spend a little time learning the ins and outs before we are met with the annoying side. There is always one and Google+ is no different. The people are not annoying, the opted in privacy settings are. I guess if you are going to create a profile that is similar to Facebook, you also have to ensure that most settings are opt-out instead of opt-in. After spending a week or so with Google+, I became quite intimate with the settings after my Gmail nearly exploded.

How to Opt Out of the Most Important Google+ Settings

1. Email Notifications. It is wonderful when you are added to a circle. However, what is not wonderful are the individual email alerts that have overrun our Gmail accounts. To opt out of these notifications is actually very simple.

a. In your Google+ account in the right had corner next to “Share” click on the gears icon which brings a drop down menu.

b. At the drop down menu, click on Google+ Privacy Settings.

c. A new window pops up which clearly displays all of notification settings. Uncheck those that you wish not to be notified about and the setting is automatically saved. In other words, no need for a “big ass save button.”
