Google may be getting ready to add Chromecast support to its Google+ mobile apps: A resourceful Google+ user has found Chromecast icons in the latest version of the Google+ Android app, suggesting that the app could soon be used to cast photos and videos to a Chromecast-equipped TV screen. A Google spokesperson told me that the company didn’t have anything to announce with regards to additional apps for Chromecast, but it would make a lot of sense for Google to prioritize the Google+ mobile apps. The company has been putting a lot of effort into photos on Google+, including its auto-awesome features, and displaying those photos on the TV screen seems like the logical next step.
