Google Keep is on the verge of enhancing its functionality, particularly in the realm of handwritten notes. Recent APK insights from the latest version of the app, 5.24.422.02.90, reveal exciting developments that promise to elevate user experience.
- The app currently supports a handwriting mode, allowing users to jot down notes with ease. However, an advanced version is in the pipeline.
- Among the anticipated features is a new handwritten notes capability, designed especially for Android devices equipped with a stylus, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S24 Ultra. This feature will also cater to users who prefer drawing with their fingers.
- Notably, the new handwritten notes will be distinct from the existing drawing notes, with a visual cue indicating their difference: the title of the new notes will appear at the top, while the older version will have its title at the bottom.
- Previously, handwritten notes were shared solely as image files; the upcoming update will allow for sharing in PDF format, enhancing usability.
- Additionally, a “Text to sketch” feature is expected, which may incorporate AI-driven sketches in future updates.
- Interestingly, these enhancements are not limited to mobile devices; they have also been observed on the web client of Google Keep, although currently, these notes are uneditable and viewable only as PDFs.
Beyond the handwritten notes, the app is set to introduce a variety of new features. Users will soon have the option to customize their handwriting backgrounds with color, moving beyond the previous monochrome choices of lines and dots. Furthermore, notes that incorporate images will gain enhanced functionality, allowing for resizing, cropping, and repositioning to better suit user needs. These updates have been demonstrated on the tablet interface of the Google Keep app, showcasing a commitment to improving the overall user experience.
As Google Keep continues to evolve, it remains dedicated to integrating valuable features that cater to the demands of its users, including the highly requested window resize option and the ability to manage multiple accounts in split mode on foldable devices.
