In the previous article I discussed turning off the photo auto backup feature of GooglePlus. Obviously it wouldn’t be very handy if that inhibited you from ever sharing photos so let’s take a look at how to choose the photos you actually wish to share. Obviously the first step is to launch the app on your phone.
At the bottom of the home stream page you should see the four relatively self explanatory buttons. Your screen should look similar to the one in the following image, if not try sliding the stream up and down a bit to expose the buttons.
Simply select the blue camera button and you will be taken to your current photo catalog. Similar to the one in the next screen shot.
If you do not have any images in the catalog that you like you can select the greyed out camera icon on the far right to switch to your camera app. In this case we shall select a couple of images in the library to work with. In the follow screen shot I selected two images that I like by tapping on the checks.
Notice the blue next button in the upper right reminds me of how many images I have checked. Since I am satisfied I will hit the next button.
In this screen I have the opportunity to add some commentary about the photos that I have selected this is similar to any other basic update. Obviously when I have finished I tapped the green done button and proceed to the photo sharing review page.
I call this the photo sharing review page because this is really your last chance to double check spelling and modify the circles you wish to share this content to. Seriously, if this is a sketchy photo of your spring break that may resurface to haunt you at some point like that all important job interview in the future then it really is your last chance to cancel. If everything is kosher then hit share and wait for the Google magick to happen.
When it is done you will see your new post appear at the top of your GooglePlus stream similar to the following;
Thank about wraps things up. I hope that you found these two posts useful. Please leave some comments about other content you would like to see covered.
If we’re not connected on GooglePlus then please drop by and say, ‘Hello.’
