Google+ is the first major social media network to have introduced Panand Zoom features for photos hosted on the site. It is only available on
the desktop version, and will allow intricate exploration of
higher-resolution photos.
The feature follows an update in late 2012 which allows Google+ users to
automatically upload photos at their full resolution.
The inclusion of this feature shows the intention of Google to corner
the market in higher resolution photo sharing.
