Remember Google+" Yes, it still exists, and it announced three major updates Tuesday.
Product manager Danielle Buckley said in a blog post that Google+ is hiding lower-quality comments on posts, adding zoom functionality to photos on the web and, starting Jan. 24, adding events to the social network.
Buckley provided further details on the three updates:
We?re making it easier to have good conversations by hiding lower-quality comments on posts so you can focus on the comments that matter most. If you?d like to see all the comments on a post, you can always click or tap ?view more comments.?

To help you see more of the stuff you care about, we?ve adjusted Google+ to make the best use of your screen size and show you less white space and more posts. Photographers share big, beautiful images on Google+ every day, so we?ve also added zoom functionality to photos on Google+ web to let you get up close and personal with the images you?re interested in.
Finally (drumroll please!), we?re bringing events over to the new Google+. While there?s more to be done to improve the experience, beginning Jan. 24 you?ll be able to create and join events on Google+ web as you have in the past. Please note that Events will not be available for G Suite at this time.
She also announced that the classic version of Google+ will be phased out Jan. 24.
