Google Keep for Android is getting new, long-awaited upgrades,
mainly basic text formatting options like the ability to bold, italicize,
underline, and transform text in notes. Users will, as a result, be able to customize
their basic-looking notes into richer ones.
The current version of Google Keep New formatting options in the app
It is safe to say that Keep is finally catching up with other
similar apps like Microsoft’s OneNote and Apple’s Notes, that have supported
text formatting and other functionalities for a long time now.
The upcoming features in Keep were first spotted by app
researchers in May last year and are available in version 5.23.322.05 of the
app. Initially, the features will only be applicable for new notes, while
previous entries wait a little longer. In case updating the app to the latest
version doesn’t work, users can try force-stopping it and clearing cache data.
In the preview images, you can also see a text sizing option
including H1 and H2 settings. According to Android Police, the app will “maintain
your formatting choices even in checkboxes.” In addition to formatting tools, Keep
has also been updated with a version history option that shows a history of
text changes made to note entries.
