Safe to disable: com.google.android.keep Safe to disable Vendor documentation
Google Keep, the notes, checklists and reminders app that Pixels and many Google-app phones ship with. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.
What it does
Keep Notes is Google's note app. It holds text notes, checklists, photos, drawings and voice memos, lets you share a note with other people, and can bring a note back as a reminder at a set time. Notes are stored in your Google Account and sync to the web and to your other devices, so the copy on the phone is not the only one. The app runs in the background only to fire reminders and to keep its home-screen widgets up to date.
Also shown as Google Keep.
If you disable it
Keep's reminders and widgets stop on this phone. Your notes stay in your Google Account and open at keep.google.com or on another device.
