Today, the iPad and Android apps for Google Slides and Google Documents received an update that you’re sure to like. The iOS and Android apps for Docs and Slides now let you insert images directly from your device’s camera roll. You can insert images even when your device is not online. You can crop images in your documents and slides too. To crop an image simply double-tap on it to crop it and or apply a mask to it. See the animated GIF below for a demonstration.

This update brings the capabilities of Google Slides on iPads and Android tablets closer to those of Google Slides in your web browser. If your school is using Google Apps for Education and is 1:1 with tablets, this update to the Slides mobile app should make it easier for students to design and edit presentations.
