Google Keep Notes is, as its name suggests, a notetaking app. It’s mostly meant to jot down simple notes and drawings, but the company has been planning on expanding its capabilities. The anticipated text formatting feature for Google Keep Notes was shown off in a short video.
Google Keep Notes is a really good notetaking application as is. You’re able to create both text-based notes and make drawings as well. The application lets you make checklists and upload images as well. Along with the mobile app, you can also use the web app if you want to use it on your computer.
The Google Keep Notes text formatting feature was shown in a video
This feature has been in the works for some time. We first started seeing strings for this feature hidden in the app last year. Now, we’re getting our first glimpse of the feature. @AssembleDebug (via 9To5Google) posted a video to X showing off how this feature’s going to look.
The text formatting tool sits in the toolbar right above the keyboard. It’s right next to the text color button, and when you tap it, it’ll open up its own toolbar with the options. The options won’t be robust, at least, that’s how it seems at the moment.
You’ll be able to create two sizes of sub-heading, and those are H1 and H2. This is for if you want to separate your notes into headings.
The news of Google Keep getting text formatting support was spotted almost a year ago but there was no preview/video of the feature except some string and icons.

Next to those options, you have your basic bold, italics, and underline functions. These are self-explanatory, and you also have the strikethrough option. On the far right side of the toolbar, you’ll see a little “X” that will collapse the toolbar
Other than that, there aren’t any other formatting tools that you’ll be able to use. This is a bummer because you won’t be able to change the font of the text. That’d be a nice feature to have.
