By I just glanced at my phone to see that a new update to Google+ is now available. The changelog mentions that there’s a new “What’s Hot” section under Stream, a “trending topics” for Google+, basically. You’ll get to scroll through posts getting a lot of traffic, +1’s and comments so you won’t miss all the compelling discussion that Google+ has to offer.
That’s not the only thing they’ve added, though. You can now view who +1’d a post or comment, whereas before you could only view the amount of +1’s for comments and only the first person who +1’d your post.
Stream posts have been shortened so that you can see more of your list of posts on the screen at the same time. Finally, the stream will no longer jump to the top after an automatic refresh. Google has also mentioned that there are massive performance improvements. Find the update in the market here.
this is NOT the direction that they should be heading… why have they not listened to all of us who wanted them to include a opt-out of what’s hot? now what’s hot is going to be feature on their app? ……. what?
This garbage needs to go. I love G+ but this is stupid.
Is Google+ still around?
How about they just make it operate without causing endless syncing and battery drain on my Galaxy Nexus…
endless crashes on my droid charge since the update >_>
Finally the Messages app works right.
Google+ is cool when nothing else is going on on Facebook and Twitter lol
Noooooooo!! You killed the Incoming stream on the mobile apps?! It’s because of shit like this that we can’t have nice things, Google.
Made the mistake of updating on my phone… will not update my Xoom. The new version KILLED the incoming stream on mobile devices (incoming stream was killed awhile back for desktop).
