    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.

    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.

    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.

        Yeah I use it as a “sticky” when I don’t have pen/paper. S24U

        Cuz that’s private right? 🤔

        Please tell me that at least someone sees the security risk here…

      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…

        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 off, the device saves the doodle as a new note.

        You can’t read other notes. Only create blank notes. Samsung has had this for millennia.

        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?

        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.

            Sure, but a teacher would usually be able to recognize the handwriting on a physical note. Where a typed note would be harder to tell who actually wrote it.

            They still allow pencils in class? I thought those were banned since the 90’s after multiple stabbings…
