Google Keep on Android is making some changes to the FAB (floating action button) ahead of the new AI voice feature coming this summer.
Save for Android goes from a regular sized FAB to a larger version. Depending on your “Create text notes by default” setting, tapping or long pressing also reveals some changes, starting with a new open/close animation.
Old and new
The FAB menu is now slightly higher on the screen. “Image” is now the first shortcut at the top, followed by “Shoot” which gets a new icon, and then “Audio”.
The big FAB is rolling out today with version 5.26.222.00.90 of Google Keep for Android. If you still don’t see it, force stop Keep from App info.
This change comes before Google Keep new sound feature allows you to create notes just by speaking. Gemini is used to turn your “brain dump” into organized notes and lists, Keep can create many from a single audio session.
From what Google showed us last month, the feature will be accessible from a regular-sized FAB above the ‘plus’ button. It fits a large FAB to access the document scanner and the usual Google Drive above.
This new Google Keep feature will be available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers this summer, along with Gmail Live and Docs Live.
