Google+ Cover Photo Updates

Google started rolling out updates to provide users with more choice on choosing cover photos. The update that was started yesterday is supposed to be rolled out to everyone over the coming days. Chances are you should already have received the updates but if you don't see them, they should reach you in a day or two. 

Google Plus Cover Photo Update

You now have a Gallery of cover photos to choose from. Currently there aren't many of them in there but they should increase in numbers soon. What's more is that cover photos now automatically gets re-sized to fit the size that Google uses, plus you can always drag the cover photo to make it fit perfectly. 

Apart from the default Gallery for cover photos, the cover photos that you used (or using) also gets a new album space like the profile photos. You may see all of them under 'Cover Photos' when you click the 'Change cover photo' that pops up when you hover on your cover photo. So no deleting the current cover photo when you want a new one. And, the cover photo album will have the photos in their entirety and not just the cropped version that you or other see on your profile.

Another update that Google says was in high demand from users was the ability to share from the profile tab. The share box earlier was at home on the Home tab or the stream page as they call it. You will now see the familiar share box on your profile page as well which makes it easier for you all to share updates right from the profile tab without any need to go to to the Home page.
