Why won't they implement this on phones too?

@cloudless I mean, Google Keep is really useful and non-cluttered for taking Uni notes. /s

Security?

This should not be a thing in the first place.

What, you want a wide open device that anyone can pick up and read your private notes/contacts you jotted down?

Please..

It's probably a new blank note saved separately each time

Samsung does that, and it would be a surprise if Google didn't follow roughly along the same lines.

If you use a pen to write on the lock screen when it's shut off, the device saves the doodle as a new note.

You can't read other notes. Only create blank notes. Samsung has had this for millennia.

Hmmm clearly youre the first person to think of that and it was not ever considered at any point in the design or development cycle.

I wonder if theres any prior art to the android approach to lockscreen privacy... perhaps a "Camera" feature?
