Proton Docs on mobile
Currently, in the Proton Drive Android app, when I select a Proton Document, the app opens the web browser, and I am able to view the document in my web browser on my phone. In the web browser, I'm also marginally able to edit the document, though editing support is very poor.
Instead, please create a mobile app for editing Proton Docs that provides full mobile-native editing support for Proton Docs on both Android and iOS.

Hi everyone, you can now view Proton Docs right from the mobile apps.
Next, we're working on bringing the ability to create new docs from the mobile apps.

awesome.
it works on iOS 18.1are these features also planned for Windows? - so far it opens a browser and stay on the "loading" screen and refuses to proceed.

I thought they've added that already, but maybe not iOS (I see it on the Android version)

It's the same behavior on iOS. At the very least the Proton Drive app needs the ability to create Documents. Currently I have to login to the Proton drive via the web browser to create Documents. At least the Proton Drive app can detect Documents and automatically open them in a web browser correctly.

Using Proton Docs through the web browser is good enough, but non-technical people (mostly, people invited on Family plan) are rebutted by this. They are confused as to why a different app (the web browser) launch, and why they need to re-login again in the browser.
Having everything in the app would really help them adopt the product!

I'm holding off on migrating my notes to proton docs until they at least commit to this being on their short-term roadmap.

Proton Docs will become much more useful to more user if there is an app/option to view/edit files on mobile devices (and hopefully also desktops) - even if it would just be basic text editor functionality.

I am a phone/tablet user 95% of the time so the ability to use an application rather than a mobile browser for editing files would be GREAT!

Agreed, being able to edit it inside the proton drive app would be superior to opening a web browser. Instead of having to log back in, and re-authenticate.
