Word processing applications like Microsoft Word and Google Docs have made it much easier for people to edit documents and create new documents on their mobile devices. Document editing on a smartphone used to seem impractical, but the Google Docs app has improved to the point where it is a viable and convenient option.
While the mobile app doesn’t have all of the features found in the desktop app, you do have the ability to format and customize your document with things like page numbers, margins, line spacing, and more. If you are using the desktop app, then this guide can show you how to change page orientation.
One of these options is the ability to add a new page in Google Docs on your iPhone by inserting a page break in the document. Our guide below will show you how to accomplish this on your Apple smartphone.
How to Add a Page in the Google Docs Mobile App on an iPhone
The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 11 in iOS 13.4. I am using the most current version of the iOS mobile app that was available when this article was written. These steps are also similar if you have the app on your iPad.
Have you checked out the iPhone Google apps for other Google products like Google Search, Google Sheets or Gmail?
Step 1: Open the Google Docs app.
Step 2: Open the Google Docs file in your Google Drive to which you wish to add a new page.
Step 3: Tap the pencil icon at the bottom-right, then tap on the screen at the location to add the new page.
Step 4: Touch the + icon at the top of the screen.
Step 5: Select the Page break option.
Now that you know how to add a page on Google Docs mobile, you can use this break feature to easily modify the layout of the content in your document.
If you’re adding a page break on your computer, simply open the Insert menu at the top of the window, then choose the Page Break option from there. Google Docs also has keyboard shortcuts for most of its tools, including this one. You can press Ctrl + Enter on your keyboard to add a page break in the desktop version of the application.
