Preface

Messenger


The Messenger part of Google Plus is the texting application. You start it from the official Google+ app by tapping on the Messenger icon. Although it's started from a phone, people using their computers can receive and respond to texts from Huddle. It's also nice to use in Hangout for texting back and forth while others are talking.

The first Messenger screen that comes up has a record of past and ongoing sessions, like this:

Clicking on any one of them gives you the actual transcript of the conversation that occurred (or is occurring). Not only the messages but also the Profile photos of the huddlers are shown.

The bottom of the screen is the place where you type your messages.

Clicking on any participant lets you view their profile, posts, and photos.

Like the rest of Plus, Huddle is both powerful and great fun. Play with it and learn this great communication accessory to the Plus package.

Now, finally on the main screen, it's time to do a bit of profiling.
