Google's been on a roll with software and feature updates this past week or so. And so when Google social boss Vic Gundotra said he "couldn't sleep" tonight, we thought we might be in for big Google+ news today. And it seems that's exactly what we're getting, as Google prepares to roll out version 3.3 of Google+ for Android. Highlights int his release include new photo features, including better Photo sphere support, and integration with the newly-launched G+ Communities feature.
The new Google+ app will land later today, along with new features for the desktop version of Google's social network. Here's what we can expect from the new app --
- New photo stuff -- Instant upload now offers up to 5GB of full-sized photo backups. Photo sphere panoramas recorded on Android 4.2 can be viewed on devices running Android 2.2 or higher.
- Events and communities -- Communities support for the mobile app. And it's now possible to send messages to individual event guests and see who's opened invitations.
- Hangouts -- Now only 150kb of bandwidth is required to participate in a hangout.
- General improvements -- The ability to edit your profile on-the-go, new "subtle" notices when new posts arrive, and improvements to the posting menu. Animated emoticons!
- Google Now integration -- Birthday notifications through cards on Google Now, including G+ links to wish the person a happy birthday.
Various other updates for the web version of Google+ are expected to be rolled out today too, including improvements to solo broadcasts via Hangouts on Air, the ability to easily create duplicate events and easier RSVPing.
We'll keep you posted with further details when the app update drops.
