An update
to Google+ for Android will now preload webpages when on WiFi, adds
notification filtering, Community moderation tools, and more in addition to
other bug fixes.
Another
benefit of implementing Chrome Custom Tabs in the last update is the ability to
pre-render webpages. The app will only do so when users are looking at a post
with a link on an un-metered network, like WiFi.
The
latest iteration of Google’s social network is aimed
more at communities and collections of shared interests. The updated Android
app allows Community moderators to look at the moderation queue to review and
remove posts, as well as ban members. Additionally, the app’s header now hides itself when users scroll through the
Collections and Community tabs.
Other
updates include the ability to select multiple items to delete in the Activity
Log and a new feature to filter notifications by unread, other, and all. Search
autocomplete was removed shortly due to a bug and has now returned. Version 7.3
also fixes 10 bugs and addresses four accessibility issues.
The
update is rolling out now via the Play Store.
