[Android app] Google+ updated (3.3) with several new features from #seasonforshipping project



The Google+ for Android app has been updated to version 3.3 and brings 24 new features and other improvements as part of the ‘Tis the Season for Shipping (#seasonforshipping) project. Google+ for Android lets you stay connected and share with your friends as things happen while you are on the go.

You can download the update directly on your device through the Google Play Store or by using the following link:

The original plan was to give away one Google+ gift a day to Android users, but that plan was scrapped in favor of a more practical idea; combining all 18 days worth of gifts into one holiday package. The updates are divided into 3 sections.

Giving you the best mobile and photo experiences
  • On-the-go profile editing
  • Easier way to create content
  • Notification whenever there are new things to read
  • Subscription to mobile notifications from your favorite circles
  • Capabilities to interact with Google+ communities
  • Full-size backups of photos (up to 5GB free)
  • Increased standard-picture size (up to 2048px)
  • Photo spheres for mobile stream (Android 4.2 users can create 360-degree panoramas viewable by Android 2.2+ devices).
Connecting with friends and family
  • In ‘Events’, you can send messages directly to specific guests
  • You can view who has opened your ‘Events’ invitation
  • You can invite people to your Google+ event by copying and pasting the URL in an e-mail or IM.
  • Guests can RSVP with the number of people they’re bringing
  • Ability to attend Hangouts with very low bandwidth (only 150KB of bandwidth required)
  • Ability to duplicate events
Stocking Stuffers
  • ‘Hangouts On Air’ now hides the “filmstrip” of faces when you’re the only participant, and it expands your video to fill the entire feed.
  • Animated GIFs
  • Birthday Reminders on Google Now
  • Lock screen widget
