Google Keep could reportedly let users resize the app’s window on Android

Google Keep may soon get a new setting that lets users resize the app’s window on their smartphone. This development comes days after Google announced that it would bring new functionality to its Wear OS note-taking app with customizable, pinnable tiles, a feature that started rolling out as part of the latest Android Feature Drop. The resizable window functionality on Google Keep was reportedly spotted during the removal of the APK of the Android app.

Google Keep to gain support for resizable Windows

A report from Android Authority, in collaboration with tipster Assemble Debug, states that Google may soon allow users to resize the Google Keep window on Android. Currently, Google Keep windows can be enlarged or resized to preset dimensions.

The ability to resize the window as desired was spotted in the publication as part of the removal of the Google Keep APK version 5.24.222.01.90, and was activated after “activating the flag”.

It will reportedly be accessible via a new sliding pane layout that can be used to customize the window without any fixed aspect ratio. However, not all smartphones can support this feature.

Devices with a pixel density higher than 600 ppi may get support for resizable Google Keep windows, according to the report. There’s currently no word from the company on plans to roll out resizing support for Google Keep on Android.

Google Keep gets new tiles on Wear OS

Last week, Google announced that it was introducing tiles for the Google Keep app on Wear OS. The feature was announced at the developer conference, Google I/O on May 14, but its rollout only started last week.

It now allows users to add multiple customizable tiles. Google says they can also be pinned notes or to-do lists. To use it, Google says, “Simply swipe through your tiles and find your pinned note (like a shopping list) to stay in the loop.”
