Google is updating Google+ to add some new features for Hangouts. For starters, teenagers can now join and create Hangouts from mobile. We’re sure they restricted the feature for concerns of safety and privacy before, but I guess they’ve come to realize they shouldn’t restrict people based on age unless their parents want to.
We’re not sure if Google has implemented parental controls, but if you have a child with a Google+ account be sure to check up on that. Other changes include the ability to do Hangouts on Air via mobile, floating timestamps in photo view, a new shortcut for creating a post, and the ability to report abuse under Events.
With all these wonderful features it’s a shame more people haven’t migrated over to Google+, but Google’s steadfast approach is not going unappreciated by the likes of me. Find it in the Google Play Store.

Teens? Well there goes the neighborhood, pretty soon we’ll start seeing +this if you love one direction and hate Joseph Koni
And it gives it much more of a chance of succeeding. Easy solution, don’t follow teenagers.
Another place for child molesters to hang
Not a huge fan of the new shortcuts. They take up too much real estate. I wish they would implement access to your Pages on the mobile app before doing more with hangouts.
