Google Keep comes to iOS

Two years following its debut on Android devices and on the web, Google Keep finally makes its way to Apple’s iOS platform. The note-taking and to-do list app from Google brings with it things like location-based reminders, shared lists, and quick search and filtering. It’s available for both the iPhone and the iPad. If you use an Android wearable with your iOS devices, it’ll work with the app, too.

Google Inbox now auto-suggests reminders from your email

Whether you’ve accepted that Google sweeps through your email for keywords or whatnot, you’re getting new handy features for it. Google Inbox is adding another element to make it easier to keep track of your to-do list. The app now makes use of Google’s natural language understanding feature to look if a particular email needs to be turned into something actionable. You’ll be prompted by the app to make a reminder. If you chose to do that, it’ll join your Inbox messages, notify you when the specified time and place comes up, and it’ll be kept in your Reminders tab until you decide to delete it.

This feature also ties in with Google Keep and it even shows up on your Google Now stream. When you make reminders now with Keep, those also show up on your Inbox. You can choose to view them within the email app or you can tap on the link to take you to Keep. This feature works on the web and iOS as well.

Google Keep update adds time and location reminders

Working hand-in-hand with Google Now, Google Keep can remind you of your tasks and errands at the right place and time with location and time reminders. You just need to click on the new “Remind me” button at the bottom of any note and select the kind of reminder you want to use. It works much like your alarm clock and can be dealt with right away or you can select to snooze a reminder.

Google’s note-taking app also has a new navigation drawer to help you separate your notes from reminders and even switch Google accounts. Adding an existing photo from your Android device is also possible with this latest update. Google Keep is up for download from the Google Play Store and Chrome Web Store or can be viewed through Google Drive.
