Google Keep gains side-by-side multi-account support

Google Keep on Android tablets and foldables is getting multi-account support when you have two instances of the app open.

Last year, Google Keep on large-screen devices gained the ability to open a second instance of the app in split-screen mode. This lets you view two notes at the same time.

Multi-instance support is now being paired with multi-account support. This lets you open one account on the left side of your screen and another on the right.

To take advantage, select a note from the homescreen > overflow menu > “Open in new window” > tap the back arrow in the top-left corner to return to the main screen > switch accounts. Overall, it’s a clunky process to get to another account. You cannot use the system Recents multitasking menu > Split to select Google Keep (“This app can only be opened in 1 window”).

This is “available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.” It’s live with version 5.24.242.03.90 of the app today.
