Where is the Scanner Now?

Google Drive Shifts

Up until now, reaching the scanner for documents on Google Drive on Google Drive Android UI redesign 2025 android devices required accessing the “plus” or “create new” floating action button (FAB). This is Scanner to Bottom Bar at the bottom right corner of your screen Google Drive Bottom Bar Redesign.

Google Drive Shifts

Google is trying out an entirely dedicated “Scan” icon right in the bottom nav bar.Scanner to Bottom Bar Core navigation, usually like Home, Starred, and Shared, would populate this bar.

Modified by my own words: For super scanner users, it wouldn’t take even 1 or 2 taps away from the heavy usage of scanners to have a more efficient experience.

In Modern UI/UX Principles: Many Android applications today house their core functionalities in a bottom navigation bar. Thus, a document scanner occupying this real estate is a natural expectation.

More Possibility for Feature Discoverability: The scanner is not a hidden feature. Further visibility would discreetly enhance its discoverability by new users.

Potential Issues and Questions Open

So, while the benefits seem pretty apparent, there are a few things that Google will probably have in mind: 

Cluttering the Bottom Bar: An Extra icon in the bottom bar could probably make it more cluttered. Especially for small screens and for users with minimalist preferences. Keeping a clean layout intact is going to be heavy for Google. 

User Customization: Users have the option to customize their bottom navigation bar icons and perhaps remove or relocate some icons.

Conclusion 

The small move that could save millions of clicks involves the Scanner to Bottom Bar update. By placing this key tool right under the user’s view, Google is making scanning more immediate and accessible.

That single change could eliminate countless unnecessary taps and highlights Google’s focus on everyday usability improvements.

While some may view it as making the interface more cluttered, the convenience value probably outweighs this notion. The scanner-to-bottom-bar move could well become quite the welcome upgrade for many Android users.
