Share from Google Drive launched for Google+ posts . This is probably a more significant update for G Suite users, where sharing and discussing documents on posts visible only within the domain could be extremely useful. Users need to remember that Google Drive permissions for the shared document are separate from any access control list (circle or mentions) that govern permission of the post itself, though this is detailed in a warning dialogue prior to sharing. The share posts help page has been updated to reflect the addition. 👉 support.google.com/plus/answer/6320405

G+ Android app update

Image
G+ Android app update Hey folks, over the next several days, we'll be enabling a brand new version of the G+ Android app. Though it very closely resembles the current app, this new version is the culmination of a complete rewrite of many core features using Google's latest Android app infrastructure which will allow our Android team to build new features on a modern tech stack. During the rewrite, we were able to build in some subtle updates. For instance, stream rendering and scrolling have been improved, the photo lightbox has been redesigned, comment options slide up from a bottom sheet, and grey-spammed comments are now viewable by post authors. Since this is a rewrite, there are a few known issues that we're working through. For instance, leaving a comment on a post causes a full refresh of the post to include your comment. Take it for a spin if you get the chance, and we hope you don't mind the dust.

This is similar to the previous announcement about this feature: plus.google.com/+LeoDeegan/posts/JxwAR8tv21z Second (screenshot 2), we added a G+ widget to the Today View to display the latest posts from your home stream. Some other recent features we've put into the G+ iOS app include: • Community owners and moderators can pin a post to the top of their community • Search for posts in communities • A "Remove Post" option for community owner and moderators • Setting to configure whether GIFs auto-play in stream • Support for iPhone X
