With Android 16 DP2 on Pixels, Google Keep is not only preinstalled but the Notes role is FINALLY enabled by default, with Keep being set as the default role holder. This brings us one step closer to the launch of the Android's note-taking feature, which was originally introduced in Android 14. The feature lets you open a default note-taking app in a floating window by pressing the tail key on a stylus, and it also lets you open a new note on top of the lock screen by pressing a new shortcut. Currently, the Notes role is disabled by default, but you can enable it by toggling a developer option. Keep supports the Notes role, but Google isn't rolling the feature out, with the app simply displaying a "coming soon" message.
