This is done from the first screen that you see when you open the app. Our guide below will show you how to rename a file in the Google Docs iPhone app.
How to Change Filenames in Google Docs on an iPhone
The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 11 in iOS 13.5.1. I am using the most current version of the Docs app that was available when this article was written. Note that these steps are specifically for the Google Docs app that you download through the App Store. These instructions won’t work if you are using Google Docs in Safari or a different browser on your device. Step 1: Open the Docs app. Step 2: Tap the three dots next to the file you want to rename. Step 3: Scroll down and choose the Rename option. Step 4: Delete the existing name, enter the new one, then tap Rename. Since the Google Docs app is tied into your Google Drive, this change will be reflected in other locations where you use the same Google Account, such as your computer or another iOS device.
