If you're a frequent user of Google+ on your Android device, you may (or not) have noticed something a little different about the 'Share' and 'Comment' buttons.
Some users are reporting a visual change to the social buttons on the Google+ app for Android. For those lucky/unlucky few, the normal icon buttons for 'Share' and 'Comment' have been swapped for text.

While it isn't immediately obvious why the phenomenon is reaching only a small group of users or if we'll see a wider rollout, it would be interesting to know the reasoning behind the update. We may just have to add it to one of life's greatest mysteries or dismiss it as
A/B testing.
We're currently conducting
a poll on our Google+ Page so feel free to put in your vote and let us know what you think of the text buttons.
