The iPhone 4S From Apple Is Perfect For New Google Plus App
|
The new iphone 4S is one of the very best phones for social networking thanks to some excellent connectivity options and the new integration of Twitter into the operating system. To date Facebook and Twitter have dominated the social networking market but their is a newcomer in the form of Google+. With the power of Google behind it this platform may well become popular over the coming months so we take a quick look at the iPhone 4S application and see what it has to offer.
Google+ is an attractive looking platform that benefits from offering a much more simple layout than the likes of Twitter and Facebook. When you load the application for the first time you are presented with a well designed homescreen that offers you five different options. The first of these options is the Stream feature which gives you a timeline of updates from all of the people that you follow. These updates can be filtered so that you can also display updates posted from a location near to you. The second option on the homescreen is the Messenger facility which gives you access to the instant chat facilities. This feature allows you to message friends for free and you also can send picture messages by clicking on the camera tab at the bottom of the screen. When you perform this action you can either choose a photo that you have previously taken or launch the camera feature to take a new photograph.
One of the more impressive elements of Google+ on the iPhone 4S is the Circles option. Circles allows you to place your friends within different "circles" so they are easier to categorise and view. Each one of these can be named and posts that you write can be shown to selected circles rather than being automatically displayed to everybody in your contacts list. Similarly when viewing posts in the Stream feature you can select posts from certain Circles to be displayed. This particular aspect of the system works very well as it leaves you with a very clean news feed unlike other sites such as Twitter where your feed is cluttered with numerous posts that may not be of any interest to you. There are two remaining items on the homescreen which we have not covered and one of these is the Profile option. This simply enables you to view your own profile including posts you have written and photographs you have posted. The final icon is named Photos and this lets you view photographs that have been posted by yourself and by your friends. On the iPhone 4S there is also an option to view photos that are stored on your handset.
The iPhone 4S offers some excellent social networking features and these are enhanced by the introduction of the Google+ application. Only time will tell whether it will prove as successful as Facebook and Twitter but it is certainly an impressive site with an excellent iPhone application.
