Wednesday, December 25th, 2013Can’t turn on the Party Mode on a Google+ Event? No checkbox?
If you have a checkbox, the answer is supplied by Google here:

If that doesn’t work, come back here and read the following.
If you have more than one Google account on your device, that may be the problem.
I had my own account, syncing everything on my Android device. But I also had my wife’s Google account on the device — to let her get email when she wanted to. Somehow, when I tried to go into party mode, Google thought I was her. My phone was set to AutoUpload my pictures via my Google account. Â Not hers.
That’s why there was no checkbox evident. Solving this required I switch from being her to being me.
To switch users on Google+:
- Select the Menu icon
- Select the small down-arrow (down carrot) next to the name of the active user
- Select the new user
Google+ should then allow you to enter the Party Mode on your Google+ Event.
