Google+ Android App Updated!

Posted on by

Google+ now has an updated app released “July 14, 2011” as seen in the app page. The update includes minor UI changes, fixes when using swype keyboard and a filter if you just want to see the stream of a certain circle.

Below are the changes and instructions on how to download and install the new APK/app for non-US Android users.

What’s in this version:

  1. Customize the main stream view to show streams from individual circles.
  2. Fixed some issues encountered by users with the Swype keyboard.
  3. Set permissions for who can start a huddle with you (Anyone, Your Circles, Extended Circles).
  4. If someone you’ve never huddled with before invites you to a group huddle, you can now dismiss the invitation.
  5. New UI allows adding multiple people or entire circles to a huddle.
  6. Set photo as wallpaper.
  7. Performance improvements and bug fixes throughout the app.
For those who can access and download Google+ through the market, you can just update your app through the market.

Download Google+ APK

For those who can’t download or install through the market or let’s just say non-US android users, if you have your phone rooted you can use these steps:
  1. Download and install Market Enabler. You can get the market enabler in the market.
  2. In Market Enabler, save your current settings or remember your default number (gsm.sim.operator.numeric). You’ll need that to restore to your default operator once you’re done with the download.
  3. Go to Settings List.
  4. Choose the US operators – T-Mobile or Verizon (hold the name) and select “Fake this provider now”.
  5. Once done, you can now go to the market in your phone and download the Google+ app.
  6. To return to your original settings (you can do this after downloading the app), simply return to Market Enabler and tap on “Restore Settings”.

Simple Google+ APK download

If you don’t want to root your phone or use Market Enabler, you can download the updated Google+ APK here or here. Make sure that Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources is checked for you to be able to install the apk.
