Google will retire ‘classic’ Google+ on January 24 and will introduce its all new version with important updates.

The most requested updates from the Google+ community will be added in the new version. Google shared in a post, ‘With this latest round of updates, we believe the new Google+ is really your Google+— designed around your suggestions, requests and needs. It also means it’s time to say goodbye to classic Google+ on the web, which we’ll be turning down on January 24.’

The updates which are expected to be added later this month are as follows:

Will Bury Low-Quality Comments

In the renewed version, low-quality comments will be automatically hidden. Company has not exactly defined the criteria on which it will consider the comment as low–quality. But any comment which is not relatable to the conversation will be hidden.

Here’s the screenshot in which low-quality comments are hidden:
