- A new feature in Android 14 makes it possible to launch note-taking apps like Google Keep right from the lock screen.
- Currently, you need to unlock your device, tap the home screen icon, and then tap a button to start writing.
- Keep is preparing to support this new feature, but ahead of its release, we managed to activate it partially to show off what it’s like.
Android tablets can be excellent productivity tools if you use a robust note-taking app like Google Keep. Pairing a stylus to your tablet can boost Keep’s note-taking abilities even further, as it lets you draw notes with a pen instead of your finger.
However, to access Keep’s drawing mode, you need to unlock your tablet, tap on Keep’s home screen icon, and tap on the paintbrush icon. This three-step process makes it cumbersome to quickly jot down notes, which is why Google introduced a new feature in Android 14 that makes it easier to launch note-taking apps like Keep right from the lock screen.
