Google Docs mobile improvements: link previews and Smart Compose Posted: 05 Aug 2020 01:48 PM PDT What's changing  We're improving the Android and iOS experiences for Google Docs users with two new features. These were previously available on the web, and are now available on mobile as well:  Link previews, which help you get context from linked content without bouncing between apps and screens.  Smart Compose, which helps you write faster and with more confidence.  Read our Cloud Blog post to learn more about how these and other launches can help you collaborate from anywhere, with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides on mobile.  Who's impacted  End users  Why it's important  These launches build on other recent launches that improve the mobile user experience, including a new commenting interface in Docs on Android, dynamic email notifications for Gmail on mobile, and dark mode for Docs, Sheets, and Slides on Android.  Together, these features will help make it easier and quicker not only to read and review content on mobile devices, but also to create and collaborate on content, wherever you are.  Additional details  Link previews  Linked content can enrich documents with useful information, but if clicking a link means opening another window, that can be distracting and disrupt your reading flow. Earlier this year, we launched link previews on the web. Now, we're adding link previews to mobile as well. When you click on a link in Docs, dynamic information about the content will appear. This may include the title, description, and thumbnail images from public web pages, or the owner and latest activity for linked Drive files. This can help you decide whether to open linked content while staying in-context.  Preview links in Google Docs on the web  Preview links in Google Docs on mobile devices  Smart Compose  Smart Compose on mobile will help you write documents faster and reduce the chance of spelling and grammatical errors when working on the go. When a Smart Compose suggestion appears, simply swipe right to accept it. See more in our announcement for the feature on the web.  Getting started  Admins: These features will be ON by default. There are no admin controls for them.  End users:  Link previews: This feature will be on by default. There is no setting to control the feature.  Smart Compose: This feature may be on or off depending on whether you have turned it on or off on the web.

Review presentations more quickly with new viewing interface on Google Slides Android app Posted: 05 Aug 2020 09:07 AM PDT Quick launch summary  We're improving the mobile viewing experience for Google Slides on Android. Rather than swiping to view slides one by one, you can now:  Scroll through a vertical stream of slides.  Pinch to zoom to get a closer look.  Easily switch to editing, presenting, or casting content.  This enables you to see more information at once, which can help you review slides faster.
