Google+ for iOS to soon be updated with full-size photo backups and background sync

Google hosted a special Google+ event this morning, and announced an update to the Google+ iOS app with features that bring it on par with its Android counterpart. The features include the ability to upload full-resolution photos to Google+. Previously, photo backups were capped at a certain size, beyond which they were compressed and uploaded. The update will also utilise iOS 7′s new smarter multitasking to upload and sync photos in the background, rather than doing it only when the app was open.

Google hasn’t announced when the update will go live on the App Store, but we’ll let you know what it is available for download. [via Engadget] Continue reading →
