Google Docs

What Google Docs does

Google Docs is a mobile word processor for creating, editing, and sharing documents on an Android phone or tablet. It suits students, office workers, writers, and anyone who needs to work on the same document from more than one device. The app is developed by Google LLC and is listed in the Productivity category.

Writing and editing on mobile

You can start a document from a blank page or use a template when you need a quicker structure. Google Docs supports everyday writing tasks such as drafting notes, preparing reports, and revising existing text. It can also open Microsoft Word files, making it useful when a document begins in another office suite.

Collaboration and access

Shared documents allow several people to work together, with tools for comments and action items alongside the main text. Changes can be made while connected to the internet or prepared offline and synced later. Documents can also be shared in different formats when the finished file needs to move outside Google Docs.

• Create and revise documents from an Android device
• Work with others through shared editing and comments
• Open Microsoft Word files and convert or export documents
• Continue working when an internet connection is unavailable
