Google Docs on mobile uses AI to suggest what to write
July 21, 2025
Google Docsjust became much more useful if you’re on the move and don’t have much time to type — or visit web links, for that matter.
Google isupdatingitsAndroidandiOSapps with two major new features highlighted by Smart Compose. Muchlike in Gmail, Docs will use AI to suggest the next words in a sentence based on the context. You just have to swipe right to accept them when they appear. As you might imagine, this could be vital if you’re updating a report on your phone and want to finish quickly with a minimum of typos.
Link previews, meanwhile, give you a quick peek at external content without having to switch apps or otherwise create a distraction from your document. Website links will frequently include the title, description and a thumbnail, while linkedGoogle Drivefiles will show the owner and latest activity. You’ll know if a linked spreadsheet is worth reviewing.

Smart Compose is rolling out now to iOS, and should start reaching Android users on August 12. Link previews are available now on iOS and the web, and should also start reaching Android on August 12. It may take up to 15 days to reach your device, so don’t worry if it isn’t available right away.
These additions come on top of a flurry of recent G Suite mobile upgrades, including Android-specific updates likedark themesupport and easier editing for Microsoft Office files. You may not have as much need to edit work on your phone during the pandemic, when you’reless likely to have a commute, but these refinements should help you keep any mobile editing time to a minimum.
