Google Keep

Some Samsung users are experiencing a strange problem with Google’s Keep app. This problem was initially spotted on a Google forum in late November and was first reported by 9to5Google.

The problem causes users who are adding new items to Google Keep with an auto-numbered list, or when navigating the note, you’ll get additional copies of the number.

Interestingly, the issue seems only to affect users who upgraded to Android 12. The phones that seem to be experiencing the problem include the Galaxy S21, S20 and Note 20. Google Keep is probably one of my most-used apps, and I haven’t experienced the issue on an S21 Ultra, Z Fold 3 or S21 FE.

So far, the only way to fix this is to edit the list from a laptop or with your web app.

Google has acknowledged the issue and says that their Keep team is looking into the problem.

Probably one of my favourite apps, Google Keep, is getting its Material You makeover on September 21st.

From the looks of it, the search bar will be rounded out. Additionally, the notes will offer colours that are not as bright and vibrant and will be a bit more muted.

The new create note button will be square-shaped now, instead of circular. The bottom bar is also more obvious this time around. With ‘Dynamic Color’ on, the app’s background will match the wallpaper on your device.

According to Google’s Workspace blog, the update will start rolling out on September 21st with app version 5.21.361.

This is ahead of the final release of Android 12, which is rumoured to go online starting early October.
