Google Tasks

Last year, Google announced that Tasks would complement the reminders functionality in Keep, with that migration still set to happen in 2025.

After adding “Completed” dates last month, Google Tasks for Android and iOS is adding uncompleted counts to all lists.

Following the new website, Google Tasks is now showing what date something was “Completed” in the Android and iOS app. 

At the end of 2023, Google Calendar gained a fullscreen Tasks interface on the web. That experience is now available as a standalone Google Tasks website. 

Following last week’s announcement, the new Google Tasks functionality in Google Calendar for Android is widely rolling out.

Google Calendar on Android is getting a more full-featured Google Tasks experience to make it “easier for users to stay on top of and organize their tasks.”

After rolling out to mobile for some, the Gemini Extensions for Google Keep and Tasks are now available in gemini.google.com.

Last month, the Gemini free tier was upgraded with 1.5 Flash and Google now says those responses are “up to 50% faster.”

Google Tasks was updated with Material You in February of 2023, and a substantial redesign today overhauls the Android app further.

With last year’s big Google Tasks Assistant migration, Google Keep was excluded from the unified experience. That’s changing, with Google Keep reminders soon appearing in Google Tasks. 

Google Keep is super useful as a notes app, but it also features the ability to create reminders too. Soon, it appears that Google Tasks and Calendar will be able to show reminders from Keep.

The Gemini app on Android can now set reminders via the Google Assistant integration and Google Tasks.

For many, Google Calendar is an essential app for keeping track of events and ongoing tasks, but the app currently makes it a little more complicated than it needs to be to create a task. Soon, though, that’s set to change in the Android app.

For the past several years, Google Tasks has been restricted to a side panel in Gmail, Drive, and other Workspace sites. Google Calendar on the web is now adding a fullscreen Tasks interface.

After rolling out Material You widgets on Android, Google Calendar is now hiding completed tasks by default.

Google seems to have a few new features in the pipeline for ChromeOS, which includes a brand new settings menu with Material You as well as Google Tasks integration in the quick settings tray.

Last week, Google started letting users migrate away from Assistant Reminders to Google Tasks and is now starting the automatic transfer for Workspace users, with personal accounts following soon.

As previewed last September, Google Tasks is replacing Reminders and getting Assistant integration. Google is now more widely rolling out the ability to switch over and complete the migration.

Google Tasks is set to replace Assistant reminders next month. Ahead of that, Google has brought online a website that lets you directly access Google Tasks.

Back in September, Google announced that Google Tasks would replace Assistant Reminders; this migration will start next month.
