Already using Google+? Follow Mashable News for the latest about the platform’s new features, tips and tricks as well as our top social media and technology updates.Who says Android phone users get to have all the fun uploading photos to Google+? You can do that with aniPhone, too, using any app that can send pics to Google‘s image organizer, Picasa.
For this how-to sent to us by Paul Molluzzo of Alpha Dad, let’s use an ad-supported app called Piconhand, available free on the App Store.
Once you have the app downloaded and installed, follow Paul’s quick tutorial (with some of my own tips inserted):

Sign in with your Google credentials. You'll see a list of your existing albums.
Be sure you have location services turned on.
Find Location Services by tapping the Settings icon, then Location Services, and then scroll down to find Piconhand.
Create a new “Mobile” album.
Or name it whatever you wish, perhaps a Circle name you'd like to give access to. This gives you control of who gets to see these pics in Google+.
Select “Upload," pick a Picasa album, but nothing happens until you tap "Start"
Choose a pic from your library or take a new one. The app lets you edit pics if you choose that in Preferences.
You'll see a progress bar when the pics are uploading.
After they're uploaded, go to Google+ and adjust the visibility of the album where you uploaded those photos, assigning that folder to the various circles you'd like to allow to see those pics.
This is a quick and easy way to send photos to Google+, and will suffice until Apple finally approves a Google+ app for iOS. But we won’t be holding our breath waiting for that.
