Google+’s team managed to released 24 new features for its Android and iOS apps, Google+ Web app and Google Hangouts.

On the other hand, photo improvements will now give users backup of full-size photos along with unlimited backups of standard-size through its Instant Upload feature. To post these photos users need a device that is powered by Android Jelly Bean 4.2 and they can be viewed by devices that are running Android Froyo 2.2.
Animated GIFs will also see support besides reminders for birthdays in Google Now along with a devoted lock screen widget.
Shedding light on their latest iOS app features, Vice President of Engineering for Google+, Dave Besbris said, “On iOS, our new version lets you swipe through photo albums inline; you can tap once to view photos in all their glory; and the iPhone app now applies a subtle pan-zoom-scale effect to pictures in the stream. You’ll also see new conversation cards that really shine a light on your content—from longer snippets to bigger photos to comments that slide in beneath each post.”
These newly added features depicts that Google has not yet given up on its social networking site, in spite of assertions from numerous tech observers that the service is a deserted town.
