Get started with the Slides app for iPhone or iPad

You can create, view, and edit presentations created in Google Slides, as well as Microsoft PowerPoint® files, with the Slides app for your iPhone or iPad. With the app, you can also make your presentations available to view and edit offline.

Install the Google Slides app

If you want to access your presentations from an iPhone or iPad, download the Slides app in the App Store.

1. Touch the App Store icon on your device.
2. Find and install the application called Google Slides.

If you attempt to open up a presentation in the new version of the Drive app and don’t have the Slides app installed, Drive will prompt you to download the Slides app. If you accept the installation, the app will immediately download and open the presentation.
