Google+ – Disable Notifications for Instant Upload Photos

google-plusnotifications

Is it possible to disable Google+ notifications of newly Instant Upload photos in the big red square at the top right corner of the Google pages?

I would prefer for Google Plus not to notify me about newly uploaded pictures to the Instant Upload folder.

You can disable the notifications on your phone (at least on Android) but you cannot on the website. I found this Google Group post where a Google Community Manager actually replied with:

Hey Brian,

I can understand where you're coming from and will pass the feature request along!

I usually ignore the notifications and sometimes appreciate the reminder that a photo has uploaded when I may have forgotten about it. But I hear you :)

That was in 8/11. So far the update hasn't been made to say that it's a notification you can turn off. I also ran through settings on the browser and it's definitely not implemented yet.
