TL;DR
- Android Authority has been able to enable settings in Google Keep that refer to lock screen note fucntionality.
- The functionality doesn’t currently work, even once enabled in settings.
- We last saw Google working toward a feature like this in late 2023. An official release timeline remains unknown.
A couple of years ago, we published evidence that Android 14 was laying the groundwork to let users take quick notes in Google Keep using a new lock screen shortcut. That feature never publicly materialized, but now it seems like Google’s taking another crack at it.
Experimenting with the latest version of Google Keep, we were able to see hidden settings that reference lock screen notes. The feature isn’t actually working yet, but it does look like it could be released any time now.
