New Google+ Story notifications are showing up in Google Now

A new card will appear in Google Now upon notification of new Google+ Stories.

Stories is one of the newer features added to Google+ Photos, creating an interactive timeline of photos, locations and other events, all done automatically. Usually when an Auto-Awesome like photos, movies and stories is generated, it is gifted in the form of a notification in the Google+ app. While this is still probably the case, a card will now also appear in Google Now. Handy!

Google Now provides the right information at the right time, at least according to the landing page. Launched back in 2012, Now has grown into a platform in which many Google services and third-party apps can tap into. This is not the first time Now cards have appeared that stemmed from Google+ though; If you're a Now user, you may have seen Birthday from the people you have in your circles. You can get Google Now by downloading or updating the Google Search app for Android or iOS.


Let us know if you've seen a Google+ Stories card appear in Google Now, and whether you also got a notification in Google+ or not.
