Google Keep App for Apple Watch No Longer Available

[MacRumors]

Just as Google Calendar makes it debut on the Apple Watch, the Google Keep app for Apple Watch has been discontinued.

Google Keep is a free note-taking service offered by Google. Version 2.2025.26200 of Google Keep removes the watchOS app, with no other noticeable changes to the app on the iPhone or iPad. Google Keep for Wear OS continues to be available.

Google Keep for Apple Watch had not been updated meaningfully for many years, with no support for many basic platform features such as complications. Meanwhile, with watchOS 26, Apple is bringing its own native Notes app to the Apple Watch for the first time.

The Google Keep app for Apple Watch as it was upon release in 2019.​

Yesterday, Google released a Calendar app for the Apple Watch, bringing its native calendar and task functionality to watchOS for the first time. Now, only Google Maps, YouTube Music, and Google Calendar have dedicated watchOS apps.

Nobody wanted for it. Nobody asked for it.

That's great and very useful. Even if I wonder whether they are deliberately holding back various features just to use them at a later date. E.g. calculator on the iPad.

Well okay then.

Have not used it. But could have kept it for those who are using it. I am not going to miss it anyway.

Google seems to cancel things after awhile. Hopefully, they will not eventually get rid of gmail .

lol your personal preference? I have used it all the time. Since Notes.app didn’t exist for the first 10 years or watch

I actually always felt like that was a remnant of the once-glorious “there’s an app for that” era – where Apple wanted to push devs to build their own great apps. But over time, most of those got filled with ads, subscriptions, or shady monetisation. So now they’ve simply decided it’s better to handle some of it themselves.

This sounds like classic Google. Why help a competitor product. They did something similar with Google maps back in the day.

Not surprised. Add it to KilledByGoogle with the other 290+ things they’ve murdered.

Until now, I was unaware that "Google Keep" even existed.

For a huge company they sure suck at advertising. They're a lot like Microsoft in that regard.

Literal 15 year olds are able to maintain an app across multiple ecosystems but Google had to set themselves a 3 app limit for Apple Watch.

Nobody ever heard of it.

And how long will it take for Google to remove this from the Apple Watch? 😉

Keep app was complete failure from the beginning just like Google "productivity" suite. the iPad app was terrible.
