Group Play
Google+ makes messaging and sharing with your friends a
lot easier. You can set up Circles of friends, visit the Stream
to get updates from your Circles, use Messenger for fast
messaging with everyone in your Circles, or use Instant
Upload to automatically upload videos and photos to your
own private album on Google+.
From the Home screen, tap
(Google+).
(Apps) ➔
This application lets you share documents, photos or music
in real-time with other connected friends.
Note: Group play is not the same as Screen mirroring which
requires a connection to a Wi-Fi capable Samsung TV or
via the use of the AllShare Cast Hub.
For more information, refer to “AllShare Cast Hub” on
page 164.
For more information, refer to “Google +” on page 137.

the file being shared.
