While we eagerly await the release of Google's native Google+ app for iOS, the folks over at RedmondPie have managed to come up with a fantastic work around if you want to upload your photos directly from your iDevice. Follow the steps below to upload your pictures on the go:
What Devices Does This Work On?:
- iPhone 3GS, 4
- iPod touch 3G, 4G
- iPad 1, 2
- A Google+ account (Don't have one? Win an invite! Read the details below).
- Piconhand, a free Picasa client for iOS.
It's as easy as that! Now on to the even cooler part: Win an Invite: We have 20 Google+ invites to giveaway! Simply retweet this article, like it on our Facebook page or comment below for your chance to win. Contest ends July 13 at 9:00 a.m. EDT. Good luck! If you're already on Google+, don't forget to follow AppAdvice!
- Step 1: Assuming you have already downloaded Piconhand, head to iOS Settings > Location Services, look for "Piconhand" and make sure location services are allowed for that app.
- Step 2: Launch Picohand and log in with your Google account. You should now see your albums: create a new one and name it anything you’d like, or after the circle you’d like it to be accessible to.
- Step 3: On the bottom bar, select "Upload." You should now see a list of all the pictures stored on your phone as well as the option to take one now, if you’re so inclined. Select the pictures you want to upload, hit the "Upload" button and wait.
- Step 4: All the pictures you uploaded should now be visible in your Google+ library. If you wish, you can now define which groups you’d like them to be accessible to.
