Back in May, Google Drive for iOS was updated to require users to download updated Google Sheets and Docs apps to edit files. Despite the change, frequent users of Google Docs and Sheets should be happy Microsoft Word files are now being supported.

You can still download Microsoft Office Mobile for your Word document editing needs, which went free for home use back in March.
