G+ Android Update 8.1.0

G+ Android Update 8.1.0
Another light Google+ Android app release this week as we continue to work on bigger re-writes to help make Android changes faster in the future. Starting to roll out today:

* 5 bugs fixed
* Speed improvements when you follow or add people to circles
* Ability to make a post from top of home stream, which we had to turn off due to a bug in the 8.0.0 release. I made a video of how this works on the G+ iOS app (where it launched first) to illustrate all the ways we are maximizing screen space in the app when you browse any of your streams.

More Android app updates are coming so please send us your ideas/issues using our Send Feedback menu item as that’s the best way to make sure we see them. Thanks~
