You can now hide 1:1 huddles, giving you more control over your conversations.
Clickable links in huddles make it easier to share and access information, and the improved autocomplete when adding a person to a huddle speeds up the process of including others in your conversations. These enhancements make Google+ for Android a more robust platform for staying connected with friends, family, and colleagues.
The Google+ for Android app is available as a free download from the Google Play Store. This update not only fixes bugs but also introduces features that make the app more intuitive and user-friendly.
