Google+ for Android now looks more "visually refreshing", and offers users the ability to Cast a slideshow of the photos, videos and links shared to stream, directly on a television.

Along with these enhancements brought by Google's Material Design UI, Google+ for Android offers the following functionality:

  • Follow what friends, family and interesting people around the world are sharing
  • Join communities to explore interests and find people with similar passions
  • Automatically back up photos and videos at full resolution
  • Bring photos to life with Auto Awesome, including animated GIFs, movies, stories and more.

Google's much-awaited Android L operating system is all set to be officially released soon, and the rumour mills are rife about Google releasing the Android L at an event during the fall this year.
