As part of the Google I/O conference, which began yesterday and is still taking place, Google announced new versions of their Google+ app for tablets! The app is already available for Android, with an iPad version coming soon.
From the official Google blog (via TheNextWeb):
We figure the best way to show our appreciation is to keep listening and making improvements, so today we’re rolling out two major updates in response to your feedback: Google+ for tablets, and Google+ Events.
Google states that users engage far more on mobile devices than desktops, making a tablet version of Google+ a natural move. Google launched iPhone and Android smartphone versions of their Google+ back in May.
The new tablet version of Google+ contains features specifically tailored to the larger screens found on tablets
- -A beautiful stream that styles content based on popularity, type and orientation
- -A “lean back” Hangouts experience that’s great for the couch or common room
- -Crisper text, fuller photos and easily-tappable actions like +1 and comment
