Google+ updated for Android, hangouts can now be truly mobile

By on December 14, 2011 at 2:06pm in Mobile News


When Google updated its Google+ app to support Mobile Hangouts it did so without allowing those virtual get-togethers to be truly mobile; its origin had to be on a PC.

That has changed today with the latest update, being pushed out now. You can now initiate a Mobile Hangout, Google’s take on social video conferencing, from within the app itself, either through Messenger or your main Google+ stream.

If Hangouts are your bag, this should be a nice little update. Hit up the Marketplace for more info.

  1. Too bad most phones don’t have front-facers.

  3. I had to update it manually by launching the app from the marketplace but still don’t see the option to start a hangout as per the screenshots after the update.

    Running ICS on Galaxy Nexus.
