When it comes totaking great notes, we find Google Keep to be one of the best helps around. It’s got dedicated apps for every platform out there and that includes Google’s ownWear OS. The smartwatch version of the app has been finicky to use, but it’s been getting better at helping people remind themselves of what they need to do. The app received avisual makeover in Decemberbefore we got word ofsome new featurescoming to the Keep smartwatch app last month. Said payload includes new watch face complications that are about to hit smartwatches soon.
These new “Add list” and “Add note” watch face complications are making their way to Wear OS with version 5.23.102.03 of Google Keep, per9to5Google. Tapping either icon opens up a box to choose between voice and text input. Users can access the additions from the complication slot picker in the Wear OS app, provided the update has rolled out in your region. If it hasn’t yet, you can sideload this version of Keep for Wear OS fromAPKMirrorto try your luck.
The new Google Keep complications on Wear OS are not groundbreaking but certainly welcome. The company has been making changes to some of its core apps for a while now, particularly in the run-up to thePixel Watchrelease last year. More recently, Google introduced the ability topin a single Keep noteto the homescreen, thanks to a new widget.
Meanwhile, insights from the firstAndroid 14developer preview told us that more visual changes are coming to Wear OS, such asMaterial You dynamic themingacross the board. All of this is part of a broader push by the search giant to improve UI and maintain consistency across all Workspace platforms.
