The Google+ app for iOS has just been updated with some of the new AI-based features that Google showcased two weeks ago. The app can now automatically highlight a user’s best shots, magically adjust photos, and turn a series of similar pictures into an animated GIF. Support has also been added for the enhanced hashtag features that were announced at Google I/O.
