Well, even if you're not that extreme, the new version of the Google+ app will now send you a notification when the happy gift is placed in your gallery. Thanks, Google!As Googler Virgil Dobjanschi points out in his Google+ post, a new version of the Google+ app is rolling out along with a change to notifications for Auto Awesome pictures. There is going to be a new notification when Auto Awesome pictures such as animations, panoramas, or filmstrips are created.
Before, you had to do some scrounging around in your photo library to find the shiny GIF to share. Now you'll be given the heads up! As a bonus, there are a few tips and tricks below on making the best of this update.
"Search for #autoawesome in your photos (go to your library in G+ or to your circles and select Photos). You can also use this handy link as a shortcut: plus.google.com/photos/search/%23autoawesome"Bonus trick:
