No - you have to opt in.

If you want to disable G+ on your account (which will also remove your G+ profile), you can go to the "Google+" section of your Google account settings page (https://www.google.com/settings/plus https://www.google.com/settings/plus). At the bottom there is a section labelled "Disable Google+".
- brudgers 14y agoWhen the most obvious option for avoiding a popup each time one accesses Gmail is joining Google+, it's a bit misleading to call it opting in.
- mvgoogler 14y agoIf you'are getting a "join Google+" pop-up every time you access Gmail then there is something wrong. That is definitely not the behavior I see on my alternate Gmail account which is opted out of Google+.
- alan_cx 14y agoNot for me. Nothing on that link even mentions google+. I have looked several times as I know I'm a dopey twit and often miss the blinding obvious, but I cant see it!! Regional difference?
- mvgoogler 14y agoNo - it just means you haven't opted in to Google+. To check - I just created a test gmail account and opted out of Google+. The Google+ section disappeared from my account settings page, which makes sense. I don't work on the sign-up/opt-out flow side of things, but AFAIK the policy should be basically the same everywhere.
