Google announced their plan to shutdown Google+ by March 2019. Along with the Google+ platform, the Google+ API will be depreciated too.
On Laravel Socialite, it used to use Google+ to authenticate, but it no longer uses Google+ platform.
If you are using Socialite 4.x, your project in the Google Cloud Platform no longer needs to enable Google+ API since the default scope is already selected for authentication needs.
