Green Google settings app

[DC1022]

Hey guys, I've never seen this before but a green Google settings app appeared in my app drawer today? Is this new and what's the purpose? Thanks guys.

Don't know ... i don't have it.

Never mine guys, it's supposed to be there now. It's a Google services update. Read it in my android news right after. Sorry for the post.

Its actually pretty useful feature. Because some people don't know what's going on behind the skin. This new app gathered all Google settings in one place.

Just found it - when did that appear?!

And what's this Android news ..?

Someone on XDA said it came with a G+ update I think!

Article: Google Settings app sneaks onto Android to bolster G+ Sign-In


EDIT: It was also posted on Phandroid's homepage last night.

I didn't update g+ but I got it

Ooh I got it now, no updates, it just 'appeared'. I'm going to press it

EDIT: Meh it was underwhelming.

The article Sylon linked to does say that it's been pushed through outside of Play and is not part of the Google+ update .. though it is related. Somehow. Kinda lost interest half way through reading as I don't use Google+

I read the newest articles on androidcentral.com and Androidcommunity.com, that's the news I read and it was one of the stories. And it's not a G+ update guys. It deals with the Google play services app.

Its just google play services 3.0 guys.

Its automatically pushed to the device. Youll get no notification you have it till you see it
