Google+ app updates bring iPhone 5 support, new widget on Android and more

Google's social networking efforts are getting a boost with new versions of its [Google+](http://www.engadget.com/tag/googleplus) [apps](http://www.engadget.com/tag/googleplus,app) for Android and iOS alike. While both platforms are now sporting the ability for managers of pages to post and comment on items on the go (expect quicker "We're at CES 2013" check-ins on the [Engadget G+ page](https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Engadget/)) there are some individual changes for each. For Android there's a redesigned home screen widget, one-click access to photos in posts and a new 'Find People' function. Meanwhile on Apple hardware it gains iOS 6 / iPhone 5 support, as well as the ability to edit posts, save photos to the camera roll and search for people and posts on the iPad. We tried out the page management feature which is nice to have, but appears to only be accessible by actually signing out and signing back in again. Hit the links below to grab the updated apps at their respective stores and give them a try.
