One of the new features is called the "Volume Control," but it doesn't have anything to do with sound volume. Instead, it is a slider that lets you fine-tune your streams and decide whether you want to see more or less items from a particular circle in your main stream.

Google+ Photos have been upgraded with a new lightbox that boasts improved navigation and photo-tagging. The new lightbox also puts more emphasis on the actual photos, with the navigation elements mostly being tucked out of the way.

Google+ Pages have been updated with a couple of new features. Brands using Pages can now delegate up to 50 named managers as administrators for a Page.

Furthermore, these managers will now be included in all the activity that takes place on a Page, making it easier for them to follow what's going on. Check out a short introduction to these and other improvements to Pages in the video below.
