Google is looking forward to expanding the features of its Google Keep by borrowing an essential feature from Samsung Notes, named Handwritten Notes.
Google Keep is part of Google Workspace, a free note-taking application that permits users to capture ideas, notes, and to-dos and share them with others. Despite being a top-rated app, it lacks some important features as compared to Samsung Notes.
Now to make Google Keep more feature-rich, Google seems to be adopting an important feature, Handwritten Notes, from Samsung Notes. The latest version of Google Keep for Android suggests a few signs that provide a look at Google’s next step with its note-taking application. One of our colleagues, Android Authority, found the app’s code, which hints that Google is gearing up to add more features to the stylus.
According to the report, it will have a feature that allows users to click the stylus to create a new note from anywhere on an Android device via a note. Apart from this, with Android 15, Google Keep is compatible to become the default note-taking application, which means that when you create a note from the lock screen, it will save a new note by default, similar to Samsung Notes. Users can make their notes even from the lock screen.
This Handwritten Notes feature is quite different from notes where you can draw, and when you add a drawing to a text note, you will still get the old UI for drawing. It offers an efficient upgrade over ritual note-taking apps.
This new feature offers a dedicated UI with a toolbar for multiple pen types, highlighters, backgrounds, and text boxes. It also allows you to incorporate images and camera captures into your notes.
