The removal of reminder functionality from Google Keep for Wear OS has sparked concerns among users who rely on this feature for task management. Previously, users could easily add reminders by scrolling to the bottom of their notes, but this option has been eliminated, with the bell icon no longer visible alongside other buttons.
While the migration of tasks from Google Keep to other platforms like Android and iOS remains largely seamless, it appears that the Wear OS app will not support this capability moving forward. Additionally, users have reported delays in loading dates for notes that still have tasks associated with them. This change raises questions about the future of reminder capabilities within the Wear OS ecosystem.
To address user needs, there are calls for updates to the Google Calendar app that would allow for the creation of reminders and events directly, enhancing its functionality beyond a simple agenda view. Users have expressed a desire for a month view feature in the calendar as well as improvements to the Tasks Tile, which currently lacks comprehensive visibility of all tasks.
