Add labels to notes in<br />
Google Keep<br />
<strong>Android</strong>’s default note-taking app has<br />
gained two new features to sort posts<br />
and set repeat reminders<br />
Google has added two new features to its<br />
Evernote competitor: labels and<br />
reoccurring reminders. While the benefit<br />
of being able to set repeat reminders is<br />
self-explanatory, you may wonder why you<br />
need labels – especially when you can<br />
already sort notes in so many other ways.<br />
However, labels let you mark notes, no<br />
matter whether they are shopping lists,<br />
photos or audio clips, under one banner,<br />
such as Personal, Work, or Inspiration. You<br />
can then view all related notes more easily,<br />
as well as sort them further by pre-existing<br />
filters, including file type or by colour.<br />
However, whereas repeat reminders is<br />
neatly integrated into Keep, sorting them<br />
by labels isn’t as intuitive, so you will need<br />
our guide to get started. To ensure you can<br />
use these new features, first go to Google<br />
Play and update Google Keep to guarantee<br />
you are running at least version 3.1.<br />
Set a reoccurring reminder<br />
Another feature of the Keep update is that you can<br />
now set reminders to repeat<br />

Create a note or list in<br />
Google Keep, and then<br />
tap the Remind me<br />
button at the bottom of<br />
the screen. This is<br />
illustrated by a knot tied<br />

Location reminder.<br />

Location reminders will<br />
repeat automatically<br />
whenever you enter a<br />
place, so enter the name<br />
of the location and a<br />
repeat reminder will be<br />
set. For a Time reminder,<br />
you will be promoted to<br />
set the date and hour,<br />
then go to the next step.<br />

Beneath the date and<br />
hour setting for a Time<br />
reminder is an underlined<br />
phrase; Does Not Repeat.<br />
Tap this for a list of<br />
options to set a<br />
reoccurring reminder,<br />
such as Daily or Monthly,<br />
or you can fine-tune it<br />
even further by selecting<br />
the Customise option.<br />
