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.
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.
What could go wrong? 🤔
I don’t know? What could go wrong?
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…
I dunno, kid writes phone number of the partner that one of their parents is cheating with…
Kids ain’t stupid yo.
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
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.
