Google has today started to roll out a new update for its Gmail, Contacts, and Google+ services which will bring them even closer together. This update aims to streamline the user experience by allowing you to keep all your contact information up-to-date automatically and share photos to Google+, all from within your Gmail account and Contacts.
Enhanced Integration for Better Connectivity
Google explains:
“Looking for the info on an upcoming family holiday gathering but can’t remember who sent it? If you’ve spent time building your Google+ circles, you can now quickly use them to filter your mail, saving yourself from having to sift through that pile of daily deal emails and newsletters.
You can see messages from all of your circles at once or from each individual circle. And if you want, you can show circle names on emails in your inbox. Contacts can also be filtered by circles, making it easier to view your social connections.”
This enhanced integration means that your Gmail, Contacts, and Google+ are now more interconnected than ever. For instance, if you receive an email from someone in your Google+ circles, you can easily see which circle they belong to directly from your inbox. This feature is particularly useful for those who manage multiple social and professional circles, as it allows for more efficient communication and organization.
Streamlined Contact Management
The update also brings significant improvements to contact management. Now, when you update a contact’s information in Google Contacts, it will automatically sync across all Google services, including Gmail and Google+. This ensures that you always have the most current information at your fingertips, whether you’re sending an email or sharing a photo.
Additionally, the ability to filter contacts by circles makes it easier to manage your social connections. For example, if you want to send a holiday greeting to your family members, you can quickly filter your contacts to show only those in your “Family” circle. This feature not only saves time but also helps you stay organized and maintain better relationships.
Sharing Photos Made Easy
Another exciting feature of this update is the ability to share photos directly to Google+ from within your Gmail account. This means you no longer have to download photos to your device and then upload them to Google+. Instead, you can share photos seamlessly, making it easier to keep your friends and family updated with your latest snapshots.
