Google Keep no longer supports the Apple Watch

Google Keep no longer supports the Apple Watch

Engadget2 days ago
Google has rolled out the latest version of Keep and, as 9to5Google has noticed, it no longer supports the Apple Watch. Its iTunes listing now only shows what the note-taking app would look like for iPhones and iPads. Google made its Keep app compatible with Apple Watches back in 2019 when its apps made a return on the wearable after over a year of absence. It hasn't had a meaningful update for the device since then, but it worked just fine.
Users who rely on Keep across iOS and Android for, say, to-do lists and reminders, will have to find another option now. While I don't personally use it, Microsoft OneNote has both an Android app and an app for the Apple Watch. Apple is also bringing its Notes app to the watchOS 26 platform, which is rolling out later this year. It will sync with the Apple Notes app for the Mac, iPhones and iPads. And though it doesn't have an Android app, users can still access it on non-Apple devices through the iCloud website, where they could also access other Apple features like Find My.

For iPhones and iPads, Google Keep remains the same. The latest version only rolled out with bug fixes, but Keep still works as intended, allowing users to type in notes and create to-do lists.
While it removed Keep's support for the Apple Watch, Google has released a pared-down Calendar app for the wearable similar to its app for the Google Wear OS. It shows a week's worth of the user's events and Google Tasks as a list of cards, which users can then tap on to display more details.

Google's Dual-Box Plan Seeks to Avert DMA Fines

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) unit Google has rolled out a fresh Option B proposal to tweak its search?results layout, aiming to appease rivals and the European Commission under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), just days before a pivotal Brussels workshop. In March, Brussels accused Google of favoring its own vertical offeringsShopping, Hotels and Flightsin general search results, breaching DMA rules on impartial treatment of third?party services. Last week, Google floated a plan to add a Vertical Search Service (VSS) box at the top of search pages, linking to specialist engines for travel and hospitality. Under the newly disclosed Option B, Google would complement the VSS box with a second supplier box directly beneath it, featuring free, algorithmically organized links to hotels, restaurants, airlines and transport providers. According to documents sent by the Commission, this dual?box arrangement is intended to give competitors visibility while sidestepping characterizations of the feature as a Google?owned service. Google's spokesperson says the company has made hundreds of alterations to comply with the DMA, but warns that the new rules risk worse online products and experiences for Europeans. The DMA empowers Brussels to fine gatekeepers up to 10 percent of global turnover for non-compliance. Google, designated a gatekeeper alongside Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Meta (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and ByteDance, faces its first DMA workshop on July 78 in Brussels, where its proposals will be scrutinized by both competitors and regulators. Failure to secure buy-in could trigger a substantial penalty and force more drastic overhauls to Google's core search business. With the July workshop looming, Google's Option B is its latest bid to strike a middle groundbalancing regulatory demands for neutrality with the need to preserve its search-driven ad revenue model.

Apple App Store revenue rises in June, mix shifts away from gaming

-- Apple's global App Store revenue climbed 12% year over year in June, supported by continued growth outside its traditionally dominant gaming category, according to a note from Bank of America. Citing SensorTower data, BofA said App Store revenue rose to $8.4 billion in Apple's fiscal third quarter, an 11.5% increase from the same period last year. Downloads grew more modestly, up 4.3% to 8.6 billion, while revenue per download increased 6.9% to $0.98. June's 12% revenue growth outpaced the 3% increase in downloads for the month, reinforcing a positive revenue mix shift, said BofA. Gaming, while still the largest category, accounted for just 45% of total App Store revenue in the quarter, down from more than 50% in prior years. BofA noted that 'Photo & Video, Lifestyle, Books, Education, & Utilities each grew 100 basis points,' while 'Productivity grew 200 basis points, marking the highest percentage change.' This broadening of revenue streams 'may signal legacy game developers to diversify into non-games or expand existing in-app purchasing options,' which BofA believes could be a long-term tailwind for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). 'We believe either scenario in the ensuing years could be a long-term tailwind for AAPL's app store revenue,' the bank wrote. Despite recent concerns over off-app payments following the Epic Games ruling, BofA said there is 'no indication of adverse impact' on revenue to date. BofA maintained its Buy rating and $235 price target on Apple, citing 'strong capital returns, [the company being] eventually winner at AI at the edge and optionality from new products/markets.'

iOS 26 Really Doesn't Want You to Be Horny on FaceTime

Since the invention of cameras, people have been getting naked in front of them, for better and for worse—often times worse, unfortunately. But just because being horny on cam is a tried-and-true tradition doesn't mean Apple doesn't have a fix for that. In the upcoming iOS 26 for iPhone, Apple is introducing a 'Sensitive Content' feature that can pause a FaceTime video when it detects that someone is undressing on screen. Specifically, if nudity is detected, then the stream will be interrupted with a notice. 'Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive,' reads the pop-up. 'If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call.' If you don't feel uncomfortable, you'll have the option to return to the call and continue getting to the good stuff. In iOS 26 FaceTime will pause the Video if you're undressing while on a FaceTime call here's the on screen prompt warning that you get asking if you would like to resume audio and video or End the call.👇 — iDeviceHelp (@iDeviceHelpus) July 2, 2025As weird as the feature is on the surface, the intention here is actually pure—this is a feature designed to help protect kids, mostly, which is great because the internet is a horrible place for children. As noted by iDeviceHelp, however, the feature, which is a part of a new array of 'Family Tools,' also appears to be active for adults in the iOS 26 developer beta. This is just a beta, obviously, so that could change when the iPhone software is released in the fall, but if you have questions about how such a feature works in the first place, I don't blame you. If you're reading this and worried that Apple is jorking it to your FaceTime calls, I wouldn't leave the country and assume a new identity just yet. As noted by 9to5Mac, Apple says that its 'Sensitive Content Detection' feature works using machine learning that all happens on-device. That's to say that there is no video information relayed to the cloud or stored in a server, God forbid. That's good because if that wasn't the case, this would be a pretty humongous breach of privacy, nudes or no nudes. As to whether this feature is active by default, it's hard to say. Some people are reporting that it's toggled off by default, but iDeviceHelp seems to suggest it's not. iOS 26 is still in developer beta, so anything could change—and it definitely will change. Even so, it's easy to dunk on Apple when it comes to NSFW content because it's traditionally been prickly towards anything of an 'adult' nature, even when it accidentally makes a perfect porn machine. And what about protecting adults who do want to use FaceTime to sext each other? Can the horny folks (all folks, pretty much) get a safeguard against unwanted screen recording, perhaps? Give us the horny feature set we all want and need, Tim Cook. In any event, the good news is that whether this feature is on by default or not, you can just turn it off if you're feeling like you need to squeeze in some hot cam-to-cam action before work or whatever. To turn the feature off, you can go to Settings, then Apps, then tap FaceTime and toggle 'Sensitive Content Warning' off. Happy sexting, folks. Be safe out there.
