Google Plus for iOS updated with video Hangout support, Messenger update, more
.
Google Plus (iTunes) iOS users will see a big update in their App Store today with lots of new features and improvements that were detailed earlier this week. Most notable is the ability to start and join video hangouts from a mobile device. In brief testing on both an iPhone 4 and an Android device on Wi-Fi, the Video conferencing worked great. It should work over 3 or 4G but the results obviously won’t be as good. Also, this version changes Huddles to Messenger and you can now send picture files through the messenger application.
Full list of improvements below:
What’s New in Version 1.0.4.2326
* Join Hangouts from the mobile app

* Reliability improvements in Messenger
