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.
