Google Keep text formatting starts rolling out on Android

Over a 12 months after we first noticed work on the function, Google Keep for Android is lastly rolling out the flexibility to format text.

After getting enabled earlier this week, text formatting is beginning to roll out (through Mishaal Rahman). Once accessible on your gadget, you’ll encounter a “New! Format your text in new notes” immediate on the homepage: “Enhance your new notes on Android with text formatting. In the coming weeks, it’ll also be enabled on existing notes.” 

The notes toolbar will function a brand new underlined “A” icon after the “plus” and Background choices. This will open a bar that starts with Heading 1 (H1), Heading (H2), and the prevailing “Aa” default. You then have Bold, Italics, Underlined, and Strikethrough. The formatting conduct is fairly customary and according to different text editors.

Text formatting has been noticed going dwell with Google Keep 5.23.322.05. That model shouldn’t be but broadly rolled out through the Play Store, whereas there’s a server-side part to availability as properly. We’re not but seeing it but on a number of gadgets we checked at present.

Of word, it will first be accessible to new notes earlier than changing into on current ones. The introductory immediate solely references the Android app. 

This ought to have at all times been an choice for customers that need it, however one among Google Keep’s charms is simplicity. Hopefully, text pasted from different sources is dealt with gracefully.
