Google Plus (Google+) for Android app updated to 1.0.5


It’s quite obvious that Google is really serious when it comes to social networking, service’s native application for Android gets even better ahead of the public launch.
A new update was released by Google for the Google Plus social networking site native application for the Android smartphone operating system. The new update includes some of the features that a lot of early adopters were requesting like leaving a 1 to 1 Huddle room, clickable link in the huddle conversations, so you can view a YouTube video that your friend has shared with you, and the very much-needed easy Huddle function of starting a 1:1 huddle from a person’s profile, or starting a Huddle conversation covering the whole circle, so you can instantly send a shout out to a customized group of friends.

The app is also updated to avoid sending “spam” notification, in fact, the notification about people adding you to their circles is now grouped as one notification message.
