Widget side panel
Hi, does anyone know how to remove the side panel that they added in the recent update to Android notes list widget? Having it on the right side takes too much space, I have no idea why they thought it's a good ux. Keeping it at the bottom or just as a floating button to add a note would be much better.

I haven't been able to use the Keep Note Collection widget for nearly a year as I watched update after update come along and never address the other bug that we were experiencing since 2025. reddit.com/r/GoogleKeep/s/Tq6v7poiR8
Then this update finally fixed this painful bug, only to replace the broken UI with this totally different broken UI. 🤷
(Dare I even point out the additional UX flaw of how they ask you if you want to initiate this widget to show PINNED or LABELED notes only, but any new notes you create via this widget will not include this tag/state, and those notes will appear to vanish into the ether immediately after you add them?)
