I have Google Docs on my Mini 6 but I didn’t know you could show Safari in it?

You can, just like when you login into your drive on a desktop computer and start writing in a doc. It's much better than using the app version, as it's very limited... Could you please try doing it on your mini's safari, and share screenshots? I'm very interested in seeing how a Doc looks like on the mini

Happy to do screenshots but I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I went to Google Docs in Safari and it launched the app. Do I need to offload the app to do it and then put it back?

Like this? Looks similar as on my 11" iPad Pro, but there is slightly less text visible on the Mini 6. (click on thumbnails for full size images). I would say it is probably a bit finicky to use on the Mini, if you have big fingers.

Thank you! It still looks more usable than the app version :) is this at 100% text? Can you also show screenshots without the table of content to the left, and keyboard on in vertical mode?

here you go. Default text size.
btw, in landscape keyboard covers up almost all the text, leaving only about 4 lines visible.
My general impression is that this is too small to be very productive. Maybe just for some minor edits. Or use a bluetooth keyboard. But I'm not sure what your intention is.

Thank you, again! My intention is to use the on-screen keyboard in vertical mode as it only takes up 1/3 of the screen. When I was playing with it at the store it seemed quite enjoyable to type on the keyboard when holding it in vertical position. Obviously, horizontal typing is off-limits...
