GoKawiilTL;DR Google says Adobe Premiere is coming to Android “this summer.”
Google says Android users will get “exclusive” templates to create YouTube Shorts and will also be able to upload them directly.
In addition to Windows and Mac, Adobe Premiere is already available on iOS and iPadOS.
Google today revealed big changes coming to Android over the coming months, and there’s a big focus on making Gemini perform more work without the constant hand-holding, alongside a plethora of visual tweaks for Android. As Google makes another foray into laptops with the Googlebook, using the same framework as Android rather than ChromeOS, it’s also making room for a prominent desktop app to be available on Android.
At the Android Show I/O Edition, Google has also announced several new features targeting video creators. This includes a suite of native video recording and editing features in Android that will reduce dependence on specialized third-party tools and speed up video creation by enhancing the inherent video quality supported by apps such as Instagram. But a big, perhaps the biggest announcement, is that editors and creators will be able to execute the same workflow on their Android devices as on their desktops, with a popular video editing suite now coming to Android.
On the show’s sidelines, Google has confirmed that Adobe Premiere (previously Premiere Pro) is coming to Android later this year. The Android version, Google says, will also bring new “exclusive” templates that will help you not only create but also post YouTube Shorts. We’re unsure how the latter part would work, and we would wait to see when the app becomes available.

Google is also touting a redesigned Instagram app for larger screens, such as foldables and tablets, and we could see a dedicated tablet UI for the upcoming video editing app, too. Besides serving tablet owners, Google has another reason to optimize the app for a big-screen experience, and that is to make its new Googlebook more appealing to creators.
In comparison, Apple limits access to its video editing tool, Final Cut Pro, to Mac and specific new or powerful iPad models, but not iPhones. Ironically, iPhone users already have access to Adobe Premiere for their video-editing needs. We’re unsure of the differences the Android version could bring.
