Google Drive rolling powerful document scanner redesign higher Android devices
https://9to5google.com/2026/05/29/google-drive-document-scanner-wide/
This has been available as a beta for the past several months, with users having the option to switch back to the old scanner. From the screen recording shared by Android’s Sameer Samat below, the beaker icon in the top-right corner is gone.
Besides the Material 3 Expressive viewfinder, Smart Batch Scanning lets you simultaneously scan multiple pages by just hovering. It’s more like recording a video than taking individual images. A preview immediately appears at the bottom of the interface.
