Google Keep, a popular note-taking app from Google, has introduced a new design for its interface. The update replaces the old bottom bar with a sleek floating action button (FAB) in the bottom right corner of the screen. This change aims to make the app look cleaner and easier to use.
The FAB now includes options to create lists, drawings, audio notes, and photos, similar to the tasks found on the old bottom bar. However, the new design removes the ability to create an audio note, which was previously available in the old bar.
The update provides a less cluttered look to the app and more space for your notes on the screen. It also focuses attention on the content without too many buttons taking up space. While it may require an extra step to add new notes, lists, drawings, or photos, users can still access these features through the FAB.
The update is available for Android devices with Google Keep version 5.24.432.x. No information is currently available on when this feature will expand to other platforms.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is testing a new sticker prompts feature for status updates, which allows users to create interactive challenges or prompts in their status updates. This feature is similar to Instagram’s stickers but offers a unique twist. When used, the “Add Yours” sticker lets users ask friends and contacts to share specific content, promoting engagement without compromising end-to-end encryption.
Samsung has also rolled out an update for its Auto Blocker app with version 1.1.00.28. The new “Maximum restrictions” feature adds a layer of security by restricting certain features on the device to limit exposure to unauthorized access. This update is available for Galaxy devices running One UI 6.1.1 and will expand to more platforms in the future.
Lastly, Google Messages has introduced a fresh design for its Magic Compose button. The new design makes it easier to access this feature, which helps users rewrite messages in different styles. The Magic Compose button now moves to the same row as smart reply suggestions and changes color to match the send button. This update aims to make the app cleaner and easier to use by removing clutter from the screen.
