Google has released the latest version of “Keep” and noted that it no longer supports the Apple Watch. According to a report, users who rely on Google Keep across iOS and Android for, say, to-do lists and reminders, will have to find another option now.

Meanwhile, Apple is bringing its Notes app to the watchOS 26 platform, which is rolling out later this year. It will sync with the Apple Notes app for the Mac, iPhones and iPads.

While it doesn't have an Android app, users can still access it on non-Apple devices through the iCloud website, where they can also access other Apple features like Find My.

For iPhones and iPads, Google Keep remains the same. The latest version only rolled out with bug fixes, but Google Keep still works as intended, letting users type in notes and create to-do lists.

While it removed Keep's support for the Apple Watch, Google has released a pared-down Calendar app for the wearable similar to its app for the Google Wear OS.

It shows a week's worth of the user's events and Google Tasks as a list of cards, which users can then tap on to display more details.

It is worth noting that Google Keep is still available for smartwatches running on its own Wear OS platform.

That’s unlikely to be of any comfort to Apple Watch users who are disrupted by the removal, however; they will need to wait until Apple brings a native version of the Notes app to watchOS 26 this fall.
