Updated mobile apps for Docs, Sheets and Slides
January 21, 2015
With Google Docs we want to help you work better, everywhere you are. So today’s Android and iOS updates for
Docs
,
Sheets
and
Slides
make it easier to get things done while you’re on the go.
Doing, not just viewing
You’ve asked for more editing tools on mobile, so today’s improvements include real-time spell-checking in documents, hiding rows and columns in spreadsheets, and grouping shapes in presentations.
Keeping your content safe
Online security is
really important
, so we offer functionality like
two-step verification
to protect your Google account. Starting today, Google Docs supports Touch ID on iOS, so you can unlock Docs, Sheets and Slides with your unique fingerprint.
Making everything more accessible
If you’re blind or have low vision, we have improved support and performance for
TalkBack
on Android and
VoiceOver
on iOS to create, edit, and share files in Docs, Sheets and Slides. The updated apps also respond well to screen magnification, in case you need to zoom in for a closer look.
These updates are rolling out now, so look for them on
Google Play
and the App Store (
Docs
,
Sheets
,
Slides
), and download the new versions as they become available. For even more news and tips, you can now follow Google Docs on
Google+
,
Twitter
and
Facebook
.
