This Itechguide teaches you how to merge cells in Google Sheets. The guide offers steps to merge cells in Google Sheets from the Android App, iPhone App or a PC…
Option 1: Merge Cells via the Android App
- Open the Google Sheets App on your Android phone. If you have not installed Google Sheets app, click Google Sheets on Google Play link to install it.
- Then open the Google Sheets document you want to edit. If you opened the document recently, you will find it beneath Last opened by me.
- You could also open your saved Google Sheets document from Google Drive. To access Google Drive from Google Sheets App, click the folder icon top right of the App. Then select Google Drive.
- Once the document is open, click the first cell you want to merge. The corners of the cell will become blue with two dots top left and bottom right of the cell. To add more cells to merge with this cell, drag one of the dots – left, up, right or down.
- With all the cells you want to merge selected, click the A icon (on top of the App).

- To save your changes, click the blue tick top left of the App.
Option 2: Merge Cells Through the iPhone/iPad App
- Open Google Sheets App on your iPhone. If you have not installed Google Sheets, you can get it from the App Store.
- Then open the document you want to edit. If you opened the document recently you can find it the beneath Last opened by me group. Alternatively, you could open the document from Google Drive. To access Google Drive from Google Sheets App, click the folder icon top right of the App.
- When the document opens, click the first cell you want to merge. The corners of the cell will become blue with two dots top left and bottom right of the cell. To add more cells to merge with this cell, drag one of the dots – left, up, right or down.

- Open Sheets.Google.com from your PC and open the document you want to merge cells in.
- Then select all the cells you want to merge – click and hold on the first cell, then drag to the other cells you want to merge.
The advantage of merging cells from a PC over the Apps is that you can merge whole columns or rows.
- One you have selected all the cells you want to merge, click Format. Then point to Merge cells and select Merge all, Merge horizontally or Merge vertically. For this example, I will use Merge all.
- To unmerge the cells, click Format, point to Merge cells and select Unmerge.
