The Google+ mobile app is now available on the iPhone App Store and Android Market in Singapore, declared at least two sources (read here and here). The app brings much of the functionality on the Google+ web platform to smartphones.
Features of the app include: Huddle, which allows group chat; Circles, which enables users to categorise contacts into different groups so that different things can be shared amongst them; Stream, which updates the user on what their friends are up to; and Instant Upload, which enables users to upload photos or videos onto the social network (for tips on using Google+, read this).
However, iPad users may have to wait a bit longer to download the Google+ app since it is only accessible on the iPhone for now.
Previously, we reported on how the social network has been rapidly gaining traction among users globally and in Asia, scoring 10 million users at last count. That figure has since ballooned to 18 million, according to Mashable. We also mentioned how businesses have been eager to set up accounts on the network, although Google+ has been embarking on a crusade to remove them.
And according to PC World, Facebook appears to be treating their new competitor seriously now, seemingly responding to the Google+ deletions by launching a “Facebook for Business” page, which contains tips for small businesses on how to use Facebook.
