Google Notes on Search, an experiment by Google Search Labs finally closing by the end of July. The announcement for the closing down was made back in April 2024.
Google has announced through an official document that the deadline for the Notes’ termination is the end of July. Furthermore, the company reminded users to download their Notes content and failure to do so before the deadline would mean the data would be lost. There are no ways to retrieve the data once it has been lost.
Google has announced that users can download the content of their notes through the Google Accounts feature called Google Takeout. Users can transfer and download data from various Google services such as Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Photos.
When the feature first launched, Notes did not generate much positive attention. It seemed as though this experiment by Google was meant to stay a timed experiment.
