    Google Keep For Wear OS Gets A Material You Revamp Ahead Of Pixel Watch Debut

    Google is getting ready for the official launch of the Pixel Watch along with the Pixel 7 next month and has stopped hiding it. On the Play Store, you can see some of these preparations, such as the consistent flow of applications getting the Material You design treatment. The most recent app to join the bandwagon is Google Keep for Wear OS wearables; its most recent version delivers a much-needed Material You design upgrade. On Samsung tablets and foldable phones, the app’s user interface is also altering.

    Google’s Material You design language was made public with Android 12. In addition to dynamic theming, the new design principles give the applications a refined touch and make them appear coherent. Keep has been updated by Google to version 5.22.342.03.97 so that you may maximise its use of Material You design features . You’ll notice right away that the traditional yellow accent colour that was generated from the app symbol is gone. Each note or list entry is shown in the Wear OS app as a grey pill that stands out against a black backdrop, a welcome change from the previous user interface where options had grayscale icons and were divided by lines.

    The Wear OS app’s white-on-black layout has been changed with vibrant pill-shaped floating action buttons (FABs), which make it simpler to distinguish between buttons and actions from plain text. You may add reminders to a note, archive them, and pin them using the buttons for making new lists and notes. You won’t need to scroll as much because the redesigned Keep app accommodates a little bit more text on your small wristwatch screen. When you go to the top of the main page, you’ll find two notes or lists.

    Google Keep will soon operate on Samsung smartphones running One UI 4.1.1 based on Android 12L, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Flip 4, and Tab S8, in the dual-pane mode that is better suited for bigger screens. According to Google support documentation, when you transition to landscape mode on such devices, the app will switch to the dual-pane layout.

    With Keep, Google now has one more Wear OS software available and ready to go for the October release of the Pixel Watch. Samsung customers might have to wait a little while, but once it is available, the dual-pane UI will undoubtedly increase productivity.
