In our opinion, the addition of a two-page view for PDFs in the Google Drive app on Android tablets or foldable devices offers several benefits. The two-page view mimics the experience of reading a physical book or magazine, making it more comfortable and familiar for users.
Also, the new feature will help users to quickly navigate and find specific information within the document. This can be particularly useful for research or reference materials.
For users who regularly work with PDF documents, especially on their Android tablets or foldable devices, the two-page view feature can improve productivity and streamline their workflow.
Recently, Google announced a new split screen feature for the Gmail app on large-screen Android devices. With this feature, users can now open links and attachments directly beside their email content when their device is in landscape orientation. Now, upon tapping a link (or attachment) in the email, the link (or attachment) will open on the right half of the screen and the email will move to the left half.
