Google Docs for Android to open into edit mode
Google is making changes to its Docs, Slides and Sheets app, called the "First Open Experience" that will launch the app in edit mode for a “more creation-focused experience.”
Opening Google Docs will immediately launch the page into edit mode where users can start typing instead of clicking on the pen icon on the bottom right corner. The I-beam cursor is also ready for immediate text input if you have a keyboard attached, or a tap on the screen would bring up a virtual one.
According to Google formatting toolbar will also be visible, while Google Sheets will get large tap targets, and “tapping once exposes the formula bar, tab bar, and a contextual formatting toolbar.” Google Slides will immediately display filmstrip preview of user's entire deck at the left.
The company said that "selecting an object exposes the contextual toolbar and an on-screen keyboard.”
The changes are rolling out now.
