Google+ for Android is updated and is similar to the app for iOS

Out of nowhere, Google has decided to renew the interface of the mobile application of its widely used Google + social network. Amazingly, the IOS was awarded the upgrade before your darling Android, which has always preferred to launch applications from the search giant. Now, the update reached the green robot bringing several innovations in application design.


The new Google + prioritizes the image to text, and brings the user experience more g? Ráfica, as in Flipboard. The typography was modified, making reading much more smooth and enjoyable. Check out the images:

Although the change is radical, the Android application is not identical to the iPhone. The icons remain in an upper bar, and some were kept gestures, such as to change the feed slide. The interface of hangouts showed a slight shift in time to invite friends to chat, displaying their contact pictures and easier to find.

The application is now available for update in Google Play. However, there are many owners of Android phones that will enjoy the new version: the application page in the store indicates that the versions of applications can vary depending on the version of Android installed. It's a shame, but it's the price you pay for "differentiation", defended by Eric Schmidt.
