Google has updated it Google+ Mobile App on various Mobiles OSs including Android. If we see update overall than Google has added 24 new features to its latest version 3.3 of Mobile Google+.

The new version include new mobile, photo, event and Hangout features aimed at making “sharing and communicating easier and more fun than ever.” Google+ recently launched Communities, a feature that connects like minded users around a shared interest.

  • General improvements — The ability to edit your profile on-the-go, new “subtle” notices when new posts arrive, and improvements to the posting menu.
  • Google Now integration — Birthday notifications through cards on Google Now, including G+ links to wish the person a happy birthday.
