Google+ Signups Open for All, Mobile App Gets Huge Update [Almost Like BBM for Android]
Google’s just released a HUGE update to Google+. For starts, registrations are completely open and available for all to sign up.
This is great news as many people suggested Google+ was crippled by not being able to persuade all of your friends to come over from Facebook without invitations being available. All of that is down now, though, as any old soul can register any time they want.
The rest of the updates all came to mobile and there’s a lot of stuff here. Hangouts, which are group video chats, are now available on mobile. This was as highly requested feature with the advent of the front-facing camera.
You can now +mention a friend directly within your post or comment simply by pressing the “+” symbol and typing their name. SMS support is improved for users in India and iOS users can now +1 comments i the app, but Android support is coming soon..
You’re also being given the option to change your profile pictures on your device, customize your notifications and the ability to move the app to your SD card. Finally, Google’s changed the name of “Huddles” to “Messenger” and added image sharing within the actual chat. Needless to say, we’re stoked. Go and find the new update in the Android market!
