Is It Safe To Delete Google+ After Rooting?

[the2ndflood]

I have seen this asked before, but none of the posts have given me what I would want, help wise

Is it safe to delete Google+ or will that mess things up?

If this is a good idea, then do you know the Pros and Cons?

Thanks in advance! Any help is very much appreciated!

Do you use Google+?

If not, it's probably safe to remove - particularly since Google Photos got pulled out into its own package.

Why not first try disabling the Google+ app (no root required) to test and be sure you don't encounter any adverse effects?

I used Titanium Backup to freeze the Google+ app well over a year ago now and haven't encountered any problems related to doing so.

I had Google+ disabled, but I just want the app gone. It's a big app and I don't use it. Thanks though! I'm going to delete it right now.

Just so you know, removing a system app like Google+ won't give you more usable storage.

If you've disabled it, you've already removed all the updates to it (the only piece of the app which sits in user-accessible storage space).

The application itself sits on the /system partition which is only accessible by the OS itself.

Even though Google+ is supposed to be disabled, but I still receive Push notifications from the app, whenever something happens on my Facebook account and with some other sites. I just want it gone. It is really just Spyware and it pings the Web in what seems like a hundred times a day.

Google+ doesn't have anything to do with Facebook. If you're getting Facebook notifications, it's not because of Google+.

Something just doesn't sound right, verify your phone is actually rooted:
