- Google fine -tuning user interface for document scan but only for Android users
- New tools such as pruning and rotating are added to the mobile app
- Android -users get a material 3 design update -iOS users get nothing
Google makes some changes to how to scan documents from your phone, but it will only be available to Android users (which according to Statcounter accounts for three times as many people as iOS users).
The company is now adding crop and rotating features to its document scanning tool as well as coloring through filters, shade deletion and more.
The Android experience through the Google Drive app also comes with a few changes in the user interface for a cleaner look.
Scanning documents through Google Drive get better – for some
The key to UI changes is the larger preview of the page, making it easier to check the scan for imperfections before hiding it.
Google has also added page -cut and reinstak buttons on the screen for faster adjustments, as well as a new miniature image -carousel per day. The company’s material 3 design principles dictate how many Google experiences (including Android OS as a whole) look like.
With the visual improvements that are adapted to the wider Google Ecosystem -Redesign, the whole experience will become more consistent. While the material 3 updates don’t matter too much to iPhone users, the editing tools would be a welcome addition.
About the theme Consistency, Cloud Storage Platform also got a UI update to give videos stored on Google Drive Miniatures more akin to those found on YouTube, while Gemini is still integrated into different areas of the entire platform almost weekly.
Already in rollout, the new design and features should have arrived at all Google Workspace customers (including business and personal accounts) in mid-September 2025, but Google did not mention whether the new tools would also come to iOS users.
Techradar Pro Asked Google if iOS users can expect a similar update over time.
