Now you don’t have to get bored seeing only gray color because after installing the new Google Keep update you can see the background color or preset image on your watch which you set in your phone app.
Furthermore, the color card also shows the background and preset images you’ve used in the Phone app. Not only this, the text preview feature has also been enhanced in the update so that you can see three or four lines of a large paragraph of notes instead of one or two lines.
It is an initial rollout so it may take some time to reach all eligible devices through Google Play Store. Notably, some users are facing issues related to the preview of images but the company may fix this before rolling it out widely.
