Google+ for iPhone Receives Hangout Support

by Asad on September 26th, 2011 in Google+, iPhone

Google launched their new social network service a few months ago which is known as the Google+. It’s a new social network which comes with a lot of goodies and currently the best challenge to its rival, Facebook. Google+ for iPhone was launched after one month, whereas it was available for Android from the first days. Well, there is a rivalry between Google and Apple and we all know it’s getting hotter by each day, but Google like doing justice with their users.

Almost everyone is familiar with Google+ Hangout feature which let people have a group video conference, and it was recently launched for Android. Now Google finally brought the G+ Hangout feature to the iPhone, making the iUsers capable to hangout with their friends in Google style. The update also brought some other changes to G+ for iPhone, have a look:

Join Hangouts from the mobile app
Huddle is now Messenger
Send photos in Messenger
+1 on comments
Reliability improvements in Messenger
Granular push notification settings
Map view in profile for places you’ve lived
Improved +mention support
Share a post with individuals
Improved public search for people
Various bug and performance improvements

Anyway, there is still no sign of G+ app for iPad and I hope it’s somewhere around the corner, because there are a lot of iPad users who are waiting for this app, also Facebook for iPad isn’t out yet, so this is a good chance for Google to lead over Facebook if they really want to keep Facebook out of the game. So people don’t forget to tell us about your experience with new updated Google+ app after the break.
