Introducing a new homepage in the Google Drive app

What’s changing

We’re updating the homepage of the Google Drive mobile app on Android and iOS mobile devices to help you more easily find the right file much faster. 
An updated suggested view will allow you to see even more recommended files at once, such as those that have been recently opened, shared or edited. 
The Suggested view

In addition, we’re replacing the notifications view with activity view, which recently launched on web. Here you can see items that need your attention such as pending access requests, recent comments, and awaiting approvals, all in one place. 

The Activity view

Getting started 

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. If you do not want to use the home tab, the app will simply open up on whatever tab you last used, such as Shared or Files. 

Rollout pace 

Android: 
Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on November 6, 2023 
iOS: 
Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on November 10, 2023 

Availability
