Google Keep no longer supports the Apple Watch

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-27 19:30:12

Google has rolled out the latest version of Keep and, as 9to5Google has noticed, it no longer supports the Apple Watch. Its iTunes listing now only shows what the note-taking app would look like for iPhones and iPads. Google made its Keep app compatible with Apple Watches back in 2019 when its apps made a return on the wearable after over a year of absence. It hasn't had a meaningful update for the device since then, but it worked just fine. Users who rely on Keep across iOS and Android for, sa

Google kills its Keep app on Apple Watch

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-08-27 19:49:17

The Google graveyard has claimed another victim: the company has killed the Apple Watch version of its Keep app. While the note-taking app is still available for iPhone and iPad, the 2.2025.26200 Google Keep App Store update released on Monday has removed watchOS support, bringing the total number of Google apps for Apple Watch back down to three. This sours some hope that Google would expand its watchOS app offerings after quietly rolling out a new native Google Calendar app for Apple Watch ye

Gemini may soon let you send images in texts, thanks to RCS (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-28 01:29:14

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini on Android currently sends only text messages through Google Messages. If you ask Gemini to send an image via Google Messages, it will only send a blank URL in the text, as MMS is not supported yet. New code suggests Gemini will soon support RCS through Google Messages, potentially enabling image sharing. Gemini on Android can be used like a good old digital assistant to send text messages to one of your contacts. Once Gemini accepts the command, i

Google’s answer to Apple’s Handoff is coming with a welcome upgrade for Android (Updated)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-28 01:46:55

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on an Android-wide “Handoff” feature for multi-device syncing. This feature will enable access to apps and media across your devices, and even sync notifications between them. Apple has a similar Continuity feature called Handoff, albeit without notification syncing. Update, July 1, 2025 (04:46 AM ET): We’ve managed to enable the UI for the Handoff feature within Cross-device services. The feature is still a work in progress and doe

The three new voices are also named after plants, as were the seven previously made available by Google in December 2024.

Google is playing a dangerous game with the Pixel 10 Pro

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority We’re less than two months out from when we expect Google to launch the Pixel 10 series, and yesterday, we saw one of the most significant leaks yet. Android Headlines published “official” specifications for the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, and assuming they’re accurate, they paint a worrying picture for this year’s Pro Pixel phones. It’s not that the specs are bad, per se, but they’re virtually identical to the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The displa
