Google Keep gets Wear OS 3 tile for making, browsing notes

If you want to quickly pull up a Google Keep note you've made or write a quick one, Google updated its Keep app to the latest version of Wear OS. The app gets two new buttons to let you write a new note or list. At the bottom, there's a browse button to view what's in your Keep account. It seems to be available only on Wear OS 3 devices like the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5, as well as the Montblanc Summit 3, after updating to version 5.22.322.03.97 of the app.
