That’s cool. Until next year when Google keep is killed and Google play notes is the new one, and it won’t support this feature.
Seems like an actual clever idea — can’t see or edit existing notes without unlocking. Just create new notes.
I use this on my Galaxy Tab and S23U all the time. It’s really handy to be able to draw a diagram or take down a quick name or number.
Cuz that’s private right? 🤔
Please tell me that at least someone sees the security risk here…
Yeah I use it as a “sticky” when I don’t have pen/paper. S24U
What could go wrong? 🤔
I don’t know? What could go wrong?
I dunno, kid writes phone number of the partner that one of their parents is cheating with…
Kids ain’t stupid yo.
Student putting a hit list on another student’s tablet, then telling a teacher?
Could just stick a physical note like that in their notebook, too.
Seems like an edge case, and not something that would be an issue in 99.99% (repeating, of course) of cases.
They still allow pencils in class? I thought those were banned since the 90’s after multiple stabbings…
Why won’t they implement this on phones too?
@cloudless I mean, Google Keep is really useful and non-cluttered for taking Uni notes. /s
Probably because most phones don’t have stylus support. Then again, this is Android, so there’s not much preventing phone manufacturers from enabling the feature anyway.
Security?
This should not be a thing in the first place.
What, you want a wide open device that anyone can pick up and read your private notes/contacts you jotted down?
Please…
Hmmm clearly youre the first person to think of that and it was not ever considered at any point in the design or development cycle.
I wonder if theres any prior art to the android approach to lockscreen privacy… perhaps a “Camera” feature?
You can’t read other notes. Only create blank notes. Samsung has had this for millennia.
It’s probably a new blank note saved separately each time
Samsung does that, and it would be a surprise if Google didn’t follow roughly along the same lines.
If you use a pen to write on the lock screen when it’s shut all the way off, the device saves the doodle as a new note.
It’s fine until you leave your tablet out while you step away and come back and your keep has 500 new notes that are just drawings of dicks.
