Use Gmail without Google Plus - does it work?

With a little trick, Gmail can also be used without Google Plus. We show you how this works in this guide.

Use Gmail without Google Plus

1. When you register with Google, you automatically create a Google Plus profile. However, this is relatively easy to remove.
2. To do this, log in with your Google account and click on the "Delete my Google+ profile" button at this address.
3. Check the box under "Required" and optionally "Do not follow anyone I follow in other Google products".
4. Click "Remove selected services". You can now use Gmail and other Google services without a Google Plus account.

In the next practical tip, we will show you how you can change your Gmail profile picture.
