Google Keep, the simple, cross-device note-taking app, is reportedly working on adding resizable windows for mobile devices. If Google follows through, resizable windows would make the app noticeably more convenient to use, particularly for people on foldables, tablets, and other large-screen devices.
Right now, mobile apps can only be used at a device’s default size or in fullscreen mode, leaving users with very limited window-size options. If a true resizing feature does arrive, Google Keep could function almost like a desktop application, letting users freely resize the window as they work.

With this feature, opening a note would bring up a resizable layout instead of a fullscreen view, letting users adjust its size to their liking — similar to the layout style already used in the Google Calendar app. It’s believed Google is upgrading Google Keep so it can take advantage of displays larger than 600 pixels on one side.
This would be a welcome update for Google Keep’s core users, and the feature reportedly surfaced in the app’s code, according to rumors. Google has not yet officially announced this feature in any update.
