Google Docs are now displayed in full screen
One more week the company Google faithfully keeps its appointment with the users of the platform Android And it is that we have become accustomed to updating their applications and services on a weekly basis, trying to solve problems with the that users encounter, or simply for improving and offering new features in their applications. This time it was the turn of the office documents applicationsThose tools designed to create text documents, spreadsheets, and slideshows, which now has a new way of displaying itself across mobile phones and tablets.
This is an update that comes to each of these applications: Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides , although maintaining a unique general improvement for all of them It is neither more nor less than the possibility of having a mode full screen reading in order to enjoy the largest possible percentage of the screen for viewing the document. A more comfortable way to read and review any content with fewer interruptions
Thus, and after updating the aforementioned applications, when accessing any of these documents, either text,numbers or images, the reading mode is activated This means leaving aside all editing options, without appearing on the screen beyond the content of the document, being able to move around it in a pleasant way and without interacting with functions or features involuntarily. Just by clicking and dragging your finger to go to the next page, focus on any section or quickly move to the point that the user wants to review and possibly edit .
Once you have checked the changes you want to make, simply perform double-click on the new pencil icon in the lower right corner A format that follows the lines of the Material Design style when placing the circular button in that part of the screen. By doing this, the bars quickly appear with the usual editing tools.Those buttons that allow you to change the font, undo an action, create a new table or add a new image to the slide, etc. That is, the usual appearance of these applications before they were updated and introduced read mode.
With all of this, a basic option is achieved for these applications but that allows users to move freely through the documents to review any detail without editing them , thus avoiding any unintentional editing action. Or, simply, offering the easy reading option to check that everything is correct before giving the go-ahead and final approval. And, if something needs tweaking, a quick double-tap on the blue pen button returns all options to the user. This new update has already been released for freefor both Google Docs and for Google Sheets and Google Slides through Google Play Store
