Google Calculator 8.7 makes it easier to access past results

Google is improving its Calculator app with a new update (version 8.7) that makes it easier to look at your past calculations. This update is now rolling out through the Google Play Store.

Before, when you did a calculation, the result stayed on the screen only until you started a new one. Now, with version 8.7, Google has added a “History” feature. When you swipe down on the app, a list appears showing your recent calculations. It displays both what you entered and the final answer. You can scroll through it to review your past work.

This is especially helpful for students or anyone doing long calculations, as you can now double-check what you’ve done without needing to remember or write it down.

Google Calculator is mostly used on Pixel and other Android devices and has slowly improved over time with features like better tablet support and multi-window use. While it’s still simple compared to full scientific calculators, this update shows that Google is paying attention to making the app more useful.

The Calculator 8.7 update is available now, and you can get it from the Play Store if it hasn’t already arrived on your device.
