emails to non-members clarity (G+)

[SUroot]

I'm a bit confused so maybe someone knows the answer. I added non-members to my circles. When I share, I get the option to select or unselect emails to non-members. It remembers the last choice.

Dont see this option in the application though (when I share an image for example). Does anyone know if it still uses that choice?

When I add peopel to circles, does it inform non-members? I added my fiance with a non gmail account and she said she got nothing.

Just a bit confused as to exactly what does and does not get emailed to non-members. If I share, they get an invite, but not when you add to a circle? Unless perhaps they are gmail?

I don't think anyone gets informed if you add them to a Circle unless they've already joined G+. When you share something with their Circle they'll get it via email along with an invitation to join.

Thanks Slug.

Any idea if the app remembers your default when deselecting email non-members (when sharing) that was set via desktop?

I actually thought of this same thing the other day. I'm not sure either. But if I had to venture a guess, I'd say that it's set to send emails, knowing that Google wants people to join.
