Google removes keep app from Apple Watch
The app has not received any major updates in recent years, but it was a good and functional option for users to quickly make notes or list directly from their wrist. The removal of the app is confirmed by some user reports and developer notes. With the shut down of the Keep App, the watchOS will now have only three Google apps which include Calendar, Maps and YouTube Music.
The decision of the company to remove the Keep app is said to be a part of its broader strategy as Google aims to prioritise platforms that align with its own ecosystem. The Keep app will be available on Wear OS and Google's own smartwatch platform. On the other hand, the Apple users will now have to use Apple Notes, Microsoft OneNote or any other third-party app on Apple Watch for taking notes.

Google offers new search tweaks to counter EU antitrust scrutiny: Report
Google has proposed fresh changes to its search results in an attempt to fend off growing criticism from rivals, a week before a key meeting that could lead to yet another EU antitrust fine, according to a document seen by Reuters. The U.S. tech giant has been under pressure after being hit in March with European Union antitrust charges of unfairly favouring its own services such as Google Shopping, Google Hotels and Google Flights over competitors. The company, owned by Alphabet, will meet its rivals and the European Commission to discuss its proposals during a July 7-8 workshop in Brussels, the document said. The EU's landmark Digital Markets Act, under which Google has been charged, sets out a list of dos and don'ts for Big Tech aimed at curbing their power and giving rivals more room to compete and consumers more choice. Last week, Google offered to create a box at the top of the search page for a so-called vertical search service (VSS) which would contain links to specialised search engines as well as to hotels, airlines, restaurants and transport services. The latest offer, called Option B, is an alternative to last week's proposal, according to a Google document sent by the Commission to involved parties and seen by Reuters. "Under 'Option B', whenever a VSS box is shown, Google will also show a box that includes free links to suppliers," the document said. The box for suppliers - in essence hotels, restaurants, airlines and travel services - would be below the VSS box, with Google organising the information about the suppliers. Option B "provides suppliers opportunities while not creating a box that can be characterised as a Google VSS", the document said. "We've made hundreds of alterations to our products as part of our DMA compliance," a Google spokesperson said. "While we strive for compliance, we remain genuinely concerned about some of the real world consequences of the DMA, which are leading to worse online products and experiences for Europeans." Google risks a fine as much as 10% of its global annual revenue if found in breach of the DMA.
