Google Keep gets Wear OS 3 tile for making, browsing notes

If you want to quickly pull up a Google Keep note you've made or write a quick one, Google updated its Keep app to the latest version of Wear OS. The app gets two new buttons to let you write a new note or list. At the bottom, there's a browse button to view what's in your Keep account. It seems to be available only on Wear OS 3 devices like the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5, as well as the Montblanc Summit 3, after updating to version 5.22.322.03.97 of the app.

Google Keep introduces list auto complete and other new features

Screencap by Anthony Karcz

The latest Google Keep update will make lovers of the simple to-do list app happy. One of the new features is an auto complete feature. For example, if you have your grocery list up there, start typing in an item and Google Keep will suggest what product you intend to buy. The app also now has duplicate detection, which will alert you if you try to input an item in your list that you put in before. It shows up at the top of the auto-complete list as a non-selectable checked item.

Aside from helping you create lists more easily, Google Keep also now has a preview links feature so you can see what site you linked to when you paste a hyperlink there. The new features are coming to Android, iOS, and the web. It should be rolling out now so be patient if it doesn’t make its way to your device just yet.

Google introduces new Chrome extension and hashtags for labels on Keep

Google released a new update for its Keep note-taking app to make it easier to look for notes and save directly from websites. All you need to do is add hashtags to your notes to create labels. You could place labels before but you needed to head into the menus, which for some was a bit cumbersome. The app also gets a new Chrome extension so you can save links right from your desktop. It’ll show some information about the site or you can select some text and save that with the note as well. If you’re using your Chrome on your mobile device, you just need to head to the “Share to” function and that’ll save the sites and information directly into the app. The update is rolling out for both Android and iOS now.
