Google+ for Android updated with new features like improved Locations and Beam support for photos

The Google+ app for Android is getting small update, and while most of the changelog is filled with bug fixes, there are a few new features worth mentioning. For one, when you fire up Locations, it will automatically update your friends locations. It's a nice touch, and one that honestly should have been there from day one. The rest of the changes apply to the photos portion of the app. Now Google is adding Android Beam support for sharing photos over NFC, and integrating photos with its Daydream screensaver feature. And, if you're looking for nitty gritty details about your photos' focal length, file size, exposure time and all that good stuff, you'll find it under a new drop down menu on each individual picture.

On the web, anyone using Google+ from their desktop will notice a new design rolling out on profiles starting today. Now, cover photos are expanded across the top of the page, with the user's profile details on the left side, laid over a blurred segment of the pic. The Android app is rolling out slowly so you may not see it on the Google Playstore immediately, but the profile tweaks should be visible right away.
