Google removes keep app from Apple Watch
Google has officially discontinued its Keep app for Apple Watch. The tech giant is quietly removing the support with the latest app update. This means that Apple Watch users will now not have a native note-taking option. The feature which was launched in 2019 now sees its end. The app has not received any major updates in recent years, but it was a good and functional option for users to quickly make notes or list directly from their wrist. The removal of the app is confirmed by some user reports and developer notes. With the shut down of the Keep App, the watchOS will now have only three Google apps which include Calendar, Maps and YouTube Music. The decision of the company to remove the Keep app is said to be a part of its broader strategy as Google aims to prioritise platforms that align with its own ecosystem. The Keep app will be available on Wear OS and Google's own smartwatch platform. On the other hand, the Apple users will now have to use Apple Notes, Microsoft OneNote or any other third-party app on Apple Watch for taking notes. Apple removes five watch faces from Apple Watch Apple unveiled the latest version of watchOS — watchOS 26 at its annual developer conference WWDC 2025. Bringing a fresh set of features and design enhancements, the watchOS 26 also marks the quiet departure of five beloved watch faces. As reported by 9to5Mac, users updating their Apple Watches to the new OS will find that Fire and Water, Gradient, Liquid Metal, Toy Story, and Vapor watch faces are no longer available. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The removal of these watch faces, discovered by users in the initial developer beta of watchOS 26, continues a trend of Apple streamlining its watch face library with major software updates. Last year, watchOS 11 also saw the discontinuation of several faces, including Siri, Chronograph, Explorer, and Numerals. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Google Keep no longer supports the Apple Watch
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. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement 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.

Gemini Live adds Google app integration and caption support on Android, iOS
Google has expanded the functionality of Gemini Live, its real-time AI assistant, by integrating it with more Google services including Keep, Calendar, Tasks, and Maps. According to a report by 9To5Google, users can now instruct Gemini Live to create Calendar events, add reminders to Tasks, and generate notes in Google Keep using both voice and camera inputs. Previewed earlier at Google I/O 2025, the rollout enables Gemini Live to take actionable steps beyond simple conversations. For instance, users can show Gemini Live a handwritten shopping list or a poster with a date, and it will automatically extract key details and create reminders or notes accordingly. Google app integration with Gemini Live The update makes Gemini Live a more capable productivity tool. When using these integrated features, visual indicators will appear in the interface such as a small chip with an app icon (for Keep, Calendar, Tasks, or Maps) at the bottom of the screen. Confirmation messages like 'Note created' along with an undo option will also be displayed. Captions feature on Android and iOS Alongside the new integrations, Google is rolling out caption support for Gemini Live on both Android and iOS devices. During a Live session, a new rectangular captions button will appear in the top-right corner. When enabled, it opens a floating box that displays real-time transcripts of Gemini's responses. While user voice inputs are not shown live, a complete transcript of the session is available once the conversation ends. Captions appear near the centre of the screen in audio mode and at the top during video streaming, although they cannot be resized or moved. Some Android users have already started receiving the update, with broader rollout expected in the coming week. How to access caption preferences in Gemini Live (Android):

What I learned when I helped my mother move: some personal insights
A few years ago, I was finally able to persuade my mother that she couldn't live alone in her house — the one in which my family had lived since the 1970s — and needed to move into a smaller co-op apartment in a nearby retirement community. But neither she nor I were aware how stressful the process of selling a house and purchasing an apartment could be. While I wouldn't presume to advise anyone on the technicalities of buying and / or selling real estate, I did come away from the experience with hard-won insights on how to deal with some of the emotional crises that can occur. Here are some of the things I learned. It's not you — it's the process If this is the first time you've sold or bought a home, get ready — it's going to be a wild ride. A lot is involved: finding a buyer and negotiating a sale, or finding a new home and negotiating the purchase. Or both. In between, there are open houses, legalities, inspections, unexpected expenses, and tons of paperwork. So unless you're really into real estate, you may be tempted to give up and hide under your bed at some point. You may find it helpful, at least in the beginning, to consider it a research project rather than something you have an emotional connection to. Read, watch videos, talk to friends who have been through it — do what you can to collect information. Use your favorite note-keeping or info-collecting app to track it all: Notion, a Google spreadsheet, Keep, Apple Notes, whatever works for you. But do track all those links and sources, because I can assure you that at some point you'll suddenly find yourself thinking, 'Wait, didn't I read something about that?' and you'll want to know you can find it. Screenshot: Notion When hiring help, go with your gut I once asked a lawyer friend about who I should hire to take care of a real-estate transaction, and she shrugged. 'Any competent lawyer can handle it,' she said. That being said, when hiring a lawyer, a real-estate agent, or any professional, pay attention to your instincts. When I looked for a lawyer for the sale of my mother's home, the first one we found sounded like a nice, straightforward person until he said, 'We're going to email you the agreement. Don't let it scare you. You won't be held to it. Just sign it, and we can get going.' When a lawyer tells you not to pay attention to the fine print, that is definitely a red flag. The agreement that came listed around 20 'if this happens' clauses with dollar signs attached, and, yes, it scared me. So I replied that we would not be hiring his firm (and refused to take the three calls I got from him after that). Instead, we found someone who sent us a simple one-page agreement, laid out all the costs we would incur right up front, and proved to be efficient, honest, and helpful. Things will go wrong — take a breath Buying and selling homes can be a balancing act, especially when the funds from the sale of your current dwelling will pay for the purchase of your next. And sometimes, things go sideways. A couple of weeks after my mother's house went on the market, we found the perfect co-op apartment, right after a nice-seeming couple expressed interest in buying my mother's house. Great timing, right? So we sent in a bid and waited. I lived in tense expectation. Would the couple close the deal on the house? Would our bid on the apartment be accepted? The call from the real-estate agent came while I was attending a work event where a series of new Bluetooth speakers were being introduced. I ran to the bathroom and took the call. Our bid was accepted, assuming we could assure them that we had the cash on hand. I said that I'd get right back to them. I called the agent who was helping us sell the house. Had she heard back from the couple yet? We needed a firm commitment, and I told her why. She said that she'd call me back. It took a few minutes, but finally, my phone rang. 'Bad news,' our real-estate agent said. The couple, perhaps figuring we were desperate or thinking of this as a game, had dropped their offer by several thousand dollars — take it or leave it. 'I can't tell you what to do,' the agent said. 'But if I were you, there's no way I'd take this.' I agreed, called the other agent, and told her we couldn't bid on the apartment. Then I gave myself a few more minutes to get over my anger before I went back to admire the Bluetooth speakers. We did, soon after, get a reasonable offer for the house and found an apartment that wasn't quite perfect but was good enough. And I discovered that sometimes good enough — works. Choose your battles A week after my mother moved out of the house and the new owners moved in, I was in Las Vegas, attending the CES trade show. I was exhausted from the weeks of apartment hunting, open houses, negotiations, and meetings. Compared to that, the familiar chaos of CES — with its mass of vendors, developers, reporters, and other attendees — was a relief. I was sitting in the hallway outside the press room, trying to eat a quick sandwich before my next meeting, when my phone rang. It was our lawyer. 'The new owners say the second-floor toilet doesn't work,' he said. 'They want to take $200 from the final portion of their payment to pay for a new toilet.' 'It's a low-flow toilet,' I said. 'We just bought it a year ago. It's brand new. It's ecological. They just have to be careful using it, but they'll save water.' 'I told them,' he said. 'They insist it's unusable.' He paused. 'We can fight them on this, but considering what you're paying me per hour, I'd just give them the $200, get the rest of the security, and let it go. Live your life.' I waited a moment, watched the crowd of reporters and tech reps hurrying past, and took a deep breath. 'Okay,' I said. 'Give them the money.' And that was that. I've never regretted the decision. Sometimes it's better to lose a small battle in order to get the war behind you. Things change When my parents moved into their house, they were ecstatic. They had grown up in working-class Brooklyn, New York, had brought up their kids in apartment projects, and now were finally able to buy a house — a real house, with a real yard. It wasn't a large piece of property — a little corner piece of a suburb — but there was a tall, ancient-looking evergreen looming over the house, a pear tree that still gave pears, and a flag pole. My father and brother planted flowering bushes around the house and the flagpole, and they added flowers and herbs every spring. My parents loved that small garden. And it apparently returned the favor: during Hurricane Sandy, the roof of their house was the only one in the neighborhood completely unharmed, protected by that evergreen. When we sold the house, my mother and I told the new owners about the story of Hurricane Sandy, and we advised them to keep the tree. I had hoped they'd keep at least some of the bushes, as well. About two months after we moved out, I drove past the house. The evergreen, the flowering trees, the bushes, and even the flagpole had all been removed. The only greenery left was a flat expanse of cut grass along with two small bushes and a few sickly flowers by the front door. The garden was gone. I've never been back. Things change. You leave one home, happily or reluctantly, and you go to another. This is what moving is — you're not only changing your living space, but your circumstances, your surroundings, and your life. And I now know that while you may remember your old home with affection, it's important to create a new life at your next home so that you can enjoy that one, as well.
