Google Keep's joining the ranks of system apps considered essential
Briefly

Google Keep is being upgraded to a system app on Android 16 devices, marking a shift as it becomes essential alongside other built-in services like calling and messaging.
This change means that Android 16 users will be unable to uninstall Google Keep without root access, a clear indication of its elevated status in the ecosystem.
The surprise move comes after years of Google largely ignoring Keep, raising speculation that the company may be planning new powerful features and integration within Android 16.
Google's prioritization of Keep suggests it may become a core feature in upcoming Android updates, potentially enhancing its functionality to better serve users.
