Mobile App• The mobile app can’t

currently tag a user

• Photos can automatically upload if you set them to do so (though they won’t appear publicly or your profile until you approve)

• You can’t change your location for an uploaded photo (it’s based on your current location only)

Wednesday, August 17, 11

Page 26: Google Plus - An Insider's Guide by Nick Armstrong

Huddles

• Multi-person chat (like a Hangout but no video)

Five Bonus Tips• Click on a user’s profile

photo to see other profile photos they’ve used.

• Posts can be formatted in the following ways: *bold*, _italicize_ and -strikethrough-

• You can edit your photo uploads with a cool photo editor

• Create a “Home” circle that you fill with people you want to constantly check in on

• When editing your profile, you can click on each tab (Photos, Videos, +1, etc) - each one has a checkbox to show or hide it on your profile

Not yet - but soon!

Ford was first - but it’s not clear if they just used a personal profile

to create it.
