Google Keep no longer supports the Apple Watch

Google has rolled out the latest version of Keep and, as 9to5Google has noticed, it no longer supports the Apple Watch. Its iTunes listing now only shows what the note-taking app would look like for iPhones and iPads. Google made its Keep app compatible with Apple Watches back in 2019 when its apps made a return on the wearable after over a year of absence. It hasn't had a meaningful update for the device since then, but it worked just fine. 

Users who rely on Keep across iOS and Android for, say, to-do lists and reminders, will have to find another option now. While I don't personally use it, Microsoft OneNote has both an Android app and an app for the Apple Watch. Apple is also bringing its Notes app to the watchOS 26 platform, which is rolling out later this year. It will sync with the Apple Notes app for the Mac, iPhones and iPads. And though it doesn't have an Android app, users can still access it on non-Apple devices through the iCloud website, where they could also access other Apple features like Find My. 

For iPhones and iPads, Google Keep remains the same. The latest version only rolled out with bug fixes, but Keep still works as intended, allowing users to type in notes and create to-do lists.

While it removed Keep's support for the Apple Watch, Google has released a pared-down Calendar app for the wearable similar to its app for the Google Wear OS. It shows a week's worth of the user's events and Google Tasks as a list of cards, which users can then tap on to display more details.
