Google has just begun to roll out some significant changes to Google+ profiles that bring bigger cover photos, a whole new look for the “about” section, and a new tab for your reviews.<\/p>\n

When you visit your profile today, you’ll see a prompt that says “Cover photos just got bigger” and asks you if you’d like to update yours now. The bigger cover photos now allow for 2120px by 1192px images.<\/p>\n

“This way more images can be used as cover photos, and there\u2019s more room for your selection to shine,” says Google’s Sara McKinley in a Google+ post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your “About” section has also received an update. It’s a completely new design that puts all of your separate pieces of information into their own color-coded cards. Each info card features its own “edit” button as well.<\/p>\n

Lastly, a new “Reviews” tab has been added to the top of your profile alongside the ones for your +1s, YouTube videos, photos, and posts. As you would imagine, this tab houses all of your Google Local reviews. <\/p>\n

“Highlight your favorite restaurants, or hide the tab completely via settings – it’s completely up to you,” says Google. <\/p>\n

If you don’t see your new Google+ profile yet, be patient. Google says that it’s rolling out gradually. <\/p>\n
