Google is working on a new feature for its Docs Android app, letting users add signatures and drawings directly to their documents.
Leaked images show a feature similar to the Docs desktop tool, which lets users draw free-handed on documents. Once available, this feature puts Google Docs on par with Microsoft Word, which has had this feature for years.
Signing in Google Docs
Google Docs coming as a handy alternative to Microsoft Word, is fairly reliable, as the online tool does the primary job of editing and crafting documents for free. But this free replacement is restricted in many ways, as the tool misses an essential feature of drawing free-handed shapes on documents.
Well, this settled when Google introduced the ability to add signatures and drawings to documents on the web quickly, recently. And this could soon be coming to Google Docs for Android, based on leaks from a reliable tipster.
As noted by AssembleDebug, an inactive feature buried in the Google Docs Android app would let users add signatures and drawings easily to documents, making it almost like writing directly on the document.
Images shared show the tool similar to that available on Google Docs web but optimised for touchscreen devices. As for when this feature could launch is unknown, but we hope the release to be soon, considering its need.
