As you can see in the attached screenshots, the revamped app has a larger \u201c+\u201d button on the home page and a new design for the notes cards. Instead of showing images in the background of a note, the redesigned cards have a carousel for the photos.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Keep for Wear OS Material 3 Expressive changes (4)\"  alt=\"Google Keep for Wear OS Material 3 Expressive changes (4)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Google-Keep-for-Wear-OS-Material-3-Expressive-changes-4.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Keep for Wear OS Material 3 Expressive changes (3)\"  alt=\"Google Keep for Wear OS Material 3 Expressive changes (3)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Google-Keep-for-Wear-OS-Material-3-Expressive-changes-3.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cAdd reminder,\u201d \u201cPin,\u201d and \u201cArchive\u201d buttons are no longer stacked vertically and don\u2019t feature any labels. They\u2019re arranged in a single row and feature a new expanding animation when you select them. The scroll bar to the right is slightly thicker, giving users a bigger touch target for more effortless scrolling.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Keep for Wear OS Material 3 Expressive changes (2)\"  alt=\"Google Keep for Wear OS Material 3 Expressive changes (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Google-Keep-for-Wear-OS-Material-3-Expressive-changes-2.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Keep for Wear OS Material 3 Expressive changes (1)\"  alt=\"Google Keep for Wear OS Material 3 Expressive changes (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Google-Keep-for-Wear-OS-Material-3-Expressive-changes-1.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, notes with checklists have a slightly updated UI. When you check all the items in the list, you get a new expressive \u201cAll done!\u201d animation at the bottom and a smaller \u201cUncheck all\u201d button with no label.<\/p>\n<p>This refreshed Google Keep UI is live for us on the OnePlus Watch 2R running Wear OS 4, confirming that Google will extend the Material 3 Expressive changes to older Wear OS releases. However, it\u2019s not available widely at the moment, but we expect Google to roll it out to more users in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
