The Google Keep app is essential for many people, while others have not yet been able to take full advantage of its full potential.

For now we do not know when it will be available, but it is expected to be very soon.

Smartwatches will also find their own widget, a home screen shortcut on many of these devices’ faces . Thus, with a single touch the entry opens in a very intuitive way, which you can manage with your voice with the assistant or on the on-screen keyboard. When complete, it is saved with a tap on the button and stored as a new entry. You can add a reminder if you wish.
Adding new notes or to-do lists from your watch face is that easy, and will soon be available on many smartwatch models. For now, this new possibility is only available on watches with Wear OS 3.
