How to make professional slides on mobile with Google app
Google Slides is a free application to create custom slides, ideal for anyone looking for a replacement for Microsoft PowerPoint. With it, the user can create and edit their presentations in a professional and practical way directly by the cell phone, without relying on a computer. The feature is available for Android smartphones, and to use, you only need to sign in through your Google account.
The tool allows you to customize the theme, add text, image, work offline, share with friends and even stream the slideshow via streaming on the TV. Files still have integration with the Google Drive cloud and do not populate the storage of your smartphone. Want to become the ninja of the slides? So check out this tutorial how to use the main features of the app.
