All-new LiveShare adds news feed and local groups

This morning, we released a brand new version of LiveShare for iPhone – get it now!

The new update now has a live news feed. You can now see updates from your friends, new streams you are invited to, and comments/likes on your photos from one live feed. You can also comment and like photos in-line without leaving your feed. This enables you to stay even more connected with your friends and never miss a thing!

We’ve also added more robust geo-location features. This means that you can now explore public groups created in your vicinity by going to liveshare.com on your mobile phone (location has to be enabled on Safari). What’s super awesome about this is that you can share with people in the same context as you, without having to be their Facebook friend or in each other’s contact lists.

Try using these public groups for your next conference, party, or the next wedding you go to, where you might not know everyone who is there, but still want to be able to see everyone’s shared content in the stream. To create a public group, simply create a group on liveshare.com on your desktop browser, and select “public”. This is also possible on Android phones already, and we will be bringing this feature to iPhone soon.
