Google Keep app removed from Apple Watch

Google recently made changes to its apps for Apple Watch, including removing the Google Keep app. The latest update, version 2.2025.26200, no longer supports the Apple Watch app, though the iPhone and iPad versions remain unchanged. This means users can no longer quickly check or manage notes from their wrist, which could be inconvenient for tasks like shopping lists.

The Google Keep app for Apple Watch, launched in 2019, hadn’t been updated much. It lacked features like complications or support for newer watchOS tools, but it still worked for basic note access. Now, with watchOS 26 set to introduce a built-in Notes app this fall, Google’s decision might align with this shift. Meanwhile, Google continues to support Keep on Wear OS, showing focus on its own platform.

On the same day, Google launched a new Calendar app for Apple Watch, showing they’re not fully abandoning the platform. This move suggests Google is picking and choosing which apps to maintain for Apple Watch users. For those who relied on Keep, this removal might disrupt their workflow, especially for quick note-checking.

Users can still access Google Keep on their iPhone or other devices, and the core features like note-taking, lists, and reminders remain available.If you depended on Google Keep for Apple Watch, you might need to explore alternatives like Apple’s Notes or other third-party apps. Check the App Store for options that suit your needs.
