Google+ 5.5 for Android Now Comes with Built-In Help Centre

You can access the G+ Help Centre without leaving the Google+ app, thanks to the latest 5.5 update for Android.

Accessing the Help Centre is as easy as tapping on a post > Three dot menu > Help. What's interesting about this is that the app serves up relevant support articles based on popularity and where in the app you're accessing from. This means that you'll see Collections support content when tapping on Help within Collections.

You'll notice that the Help button has replaced Feedback, but that is safely tucked away in the centre, so you can make your comments, suggestions or report bugs from there.

The Google+ development team has been on a roll lately with launching new features and streamlining the experience, and with the steady flow of changes, users now have a quick and simple way to access the huge resources within the Help Centre.

This specific change is for the Google+ app on Android, though desktop and iOS users should bookmark the Help Centre until similar efforts have been put in place for those platforms.

As far as other changes go, there doesn't appear to be any other major changes apart from the probable slew of bug fixes & performance updates.
