Important Things to Know About Private Messages on Google+

Private Messages are CC: NOT BCC:!
If you share a private message to more than one person on Google+ you should be aware that the list of everyone included in the message can be seen by anyone else included, even if you don't +mention everyone in the message body.

To see the entire list of accounts with which the message was shared, a recipient just has to click on the "Shared Privately" link at the top of the post to see icons of all the post recipients. Hover over each one to see the profile name.

That means you should think of all Google+ private messages as CC: not BCC:!

Mentioning Someone Breaks the Privacy
If you +mention someone in a private message who was not in the original recipient list, they will get a notification and the message becomes visible to them, as with any other Google+ post.

So use +mentioning with caution in a G+ PM, and make sure you have the consent of everyone else in the message before you bring someone else in! (HT to Rupert Wood who reminded me about this in the comments.)

UPDATE: Great further tip shared by John R. Ellis: If you want to prevent anyone from +mentioning someone else into your private message, select "Disable reshares" from the dropdown menu at upper right after publishing the post.

How to Create a Private Message
Just in case you didn't know you could send PMs here, here's how:

1. Open a new share box.
2. Delete any circles currently shown in the share box.
3. Either plus mention (type a + and then immediately the name) anyone you want to include OR enter their name in the "Add more people" box.
4. If you use the "add more people" box, remember what I said above: those people can still be seen by other recipients!
