Google has upgraded its Google Plus app for iOS devices, adding support for both the iPad as well as the iPod touch.

Users can also download the latest version of the Google+ app for iOS, version 1.0.2.1966, at the Apple App Store. The app requires iOS 4.0 or later. Google is pushing out the app upgrade over the next few hours, executives said in blog posts on Google+. 

The release notes for the new version of the app note the additions of the iPad and iPod touch, as well as a number of new features. Those include the ability to hide one-on-one Huddles, the mobile chat capability included within Google+. Users can also start new Huddles from within another user's profile page, and set permissions for who can set a Huddle with you.

As PCMag's review of the Google+ iOS app noted, don't expect any Hangouts, the video-chat feature, to make an appearance. Google has reserved those for the desktop version of Google+ at this point.

One of the other more important additions is a feature that Google recently added to its Google+ Mobile app for Android : the ability to monitor the main stream view with input from individual Circles. Google also fixed a bug with so-called "+mentions," or the ability to add a "+" to the user's username to bring him or her into the conversation.
