Using Google’s productivity apps on mobile pose a bit of a challenge, to be honest. Google is hoping to remedy that with its latest updates for iOS and Android. Now, Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides support Android TalkBack and iOS VoiceOver, screen readers that are meant to help visually impaired read words on the app. Documents now also have real-time spell check, spreadsheets can hide rows and columns, and presentations can lump similar shapes together. If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, you can use fingerprint unlock to keep your private files away from nosy colleagues. The update should be up on both iTunes and Play Store.
