Samsung Galaxy Watches get new Wear OS Tile for Google Keep

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Google is bringing Tiles for Google Keep on Wear OS smartwatches. Now, the company has started updating the Google Keep app (via 9To5Google) to bring a Single Note Tile to compatible Wear OS smartwatches, including the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 series.

The Single Note Tile for Google Keep lets you select one of your notes so that you can access it easily by swiping left or right from the watch face on your smartwatch. It displays four lines of text, which is a bit limiting. You can also add images to notes, and they will appear in this Tile. You can click the Tile to open the complete note in the Google Keep app, and you can take more actions there, including adding a reminder, deleting a note, or pinning it.

This new Tile joins the Create Note Tile for Google Keep that lets you create a new note by clicking on it. You can add multiple Tiles for a single note, which means you can add multiple notes for quick access. However, there is no AoD mode for Google Keep's Tiles, which could be a great addition.

A similar Single Note widget was recently added to Google Keep's Android app. Google has been focusing on improving Wear OS over the past couple of years and has even launched its own smartwatch (Pixel Watch).
