Google has updated the mobile website for its Google+ social network on select WebKit-based devices. This brings a much cleaner, more photo-centric appearance, and closer to the native app versions available on iOS and Android.
As you can see above, the new site features a left-side navigation bar for easier access to various areas of the site like Circles, Profile and Photos. At the top right of the screen is a dedicated spot to check recent notifications. Touch targets are now bigger, too, and you can see users’ profile photos when you click on their names.
The site also runs much better on BlackBerry 10, which was limited to the basic HTML version of Google+ by default. With this update, the Z10 and Q10 can enjoy the same web-based experience as the iPhone or Android, though it doesn’t quite compare to the feature-filled smoothness of their native equivalents. Also limited is the option to join Hangouts, one of the best features from the native apps.
Google recently overhauled Google+ for the web, and added several photo-centric features to its Android app.
If you’re a fan of Google+ and don’t have access to either the native iOS or Android version, check out the new mobile site.
