At the start of March, Google discussed the latest in widgets, including what a high-quality design looks like. Google Keep is now redesigning and modernizing one of its Android widgets.
The current widgets date back to 2021 and the initial Material You rollout. At the moment, “Quick capture” places the plus for a new text note in a rounded square. The icons for a new list, audio note, drawing, and photo are just placed against the background.
The new widget takes up the same width but is taller and takes up the entire space, which follows Google’s latest guidelines. While the plus is placed in a vertical pill, the other icons are now housed in rounded rectangles.
This new design currently only appears in the widget picker, and you briefly see it upon placing it on a homescreen. However, the widget redesign isn’t actually rolled out as of Google Keep 5.25.122.00.90. There are no changes to Note collections or Single note, which was introduced more recently.
window.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];
adSlotsConfig.push( {
slotID: ‘/1049447/Outbrain’,
slotName: ‘div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-667264’,
sizes: [300, 250],
slotPosition: ‘mid_article’
} );
You might be able to try the new design with Google Drive’s updated “quick actions” widget, which is not yet widely rolled out.
L-R: Old Keep, new Drive, old Drive widget
