    Open your web browser and go to https://forms.google.com . There's no Google Forms app for iPhone or iPad, so you'll need to use the web browser version of the tool. If you're signed in to your Google account, a new blank form will be created instantly.
    • If you're not automatically logged in, you may be prompted to sign in with your Google account here.

  • Question
    Does a Google Form offer a draft or save feature, should I wish to pause what I'm doing and return at a later date?
    Community Answer
    When creating a Google Form, Google automatically saves any changes you make. When answering one, as long as you keep the tab open and don't turn off your device, it should still be there when you get back to it. If you don't want it cluttering your toolbar, drag it into a new window.
