On what date did Google shut down the consumer version of Google+?

Google shut down the consumer version of Google+ on April 2, 2019.

Google+ was launched in 2011 as a social network intended to compete with Facebook and connect closely with Google services. It introduced features such as Circles for organizing contacts and Hangouts for communication.

Google announced the consumer shutdown in October 2018, citing low usage and challenges in maintaining the service. The company also disclosed a software bug that had exposed some private profile information to third-party developers, although it said it had not found evidence of misuse.

Google+ continued in a separate enterprise form for organizations, later becoming Currents. The April 2 date therefore refers specifically to the public consumer network, not every successor or workplace product using related technology.
