Google is always on the lookout for ways to enhance the user experience of its note-taking app, Google Keep. In a recent update (version 5.24.112), Google has introduced a new experimental feature that changes how users input their notes.

Instead of the floating navigation bar seen in previous tests, Google has now added a floating action button (FAB) to the interface. This iconic circular button with a plus sign, commonly found in Google’s design language, offers a fresh way to create new notes.

The new FAB replaces the entire bottom navigation of the Keep interface. When tapped, it expands vertically, presenting users with three options: draw a note, create a list, or make a text note.

This change highlights Google’s commitment to refining Google Keep’s interface for an intuitive note-taking experience. By utilizing the FAB instead of the floating bar, more screen space is freed up for notes, allowing for easier access with just one tap. Additionally, the FAB aligns with Google’s material design principles, making it familiar and user-friendly for regular Google app users.

While this feature is still in its experimental phase and may not be widely implemented yet, it demonstrates Google’s efforts to improve Keep’s functionality and design. With an interface that may have felt outdated to some users, these updates bring a breath of fresh air and welcome enhancements to Google Keep.

Stay tuned for more updates on how Google continues to fine-tune and innovate within its popular note-taking app!
