Google has (finally) released their mobile iOS app for the hot new social network cum buzz-generator, Google+. The app is free and is available on the iTunes App Store, though it's still propagating to the mobile App Store, so be patient if you can't download it directly on your device.

According to MacStories, the Huddle group messaging feature is available from the app, and we can finally rejoice in sending photos from our iPhone or iPod Touch without any wacky workarounds.

From the App Store Page: Google+ for mobile makes sharing the right things with the right people a lot simpler. Huddle lets you send super-fast messages to the people you care about most. And no matter where you are, the stream lets you stay in the loop about what your friends are sharing and where they’re checking in. Features: * Circles let you share the right things with just the right people. * Stream is where you can get updates from your circles or see what people are saying about things nearby. * Huddle is super-fast group messaging for everyone in your circles. Google+ is only available for users 13 and older.
