Google Keep app for Galaxy Watch 4/5 gets richer note feeds
In early December, Google updated its Google Keep for Wear OS customers to bring new features for notes and to-do lists such as the ability to view labels, collaborators, photos, custom backgrounds, and even drawings. Now, the company is again enhancing the Google Keep app through a new update that is compatible with Wear OS watches including Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5.

Now you don’t have to get bored seeing only gray color because after installing the new Google Keep update you can see the background color or preset image on your watch which you set in your phone app.
Furthermore, the color card also shows the background and preset images you’ve used in the Phone app. Not only this, the text preview feature has also been enhanced in the update so that you can see three or four lines of a large paragraph of notes instead of one or two lines.
It is an initial rollout so it may take some time to reach all eligible devices through Google Play Store. Notably, some users are facing issues related to the preview of images but the company may fix this before rolling it out widely.
Thanks to the One UI Watch’s Universal Gestures, Samsung Galaxy Watch models are suitable for everyone. The feature enhances accessibility and allows you to navigate without having to touch the display or the rotating bezel (or the virtual bezel) at all.
Users of Samsung Galaxy Watch can activate the Universal Gestures through the Accessibility sub-menu under Settings. The “make a fist” gesture selects an item while making a fist twice opens up the Action menu, or activates Universal gestures.

The pinch moves to the next highlighted item while a double pinch returns to highlight the previous item. The Action menu showcases different available actions based on the active app or menu. Interestingly, users having no disabilities would also find the Universal Gestures feature useful.
