For years, Google’s to-do list app Tasks was poorly integrated and underdeveloped. Recently, Google has combined all their reminder products into a single Google Tasks app that is accessible across Google products. While still lacking some advanced features, Google Tasks’ simplicity and integration make it easy to add tasks and see reminders across Gmail, Calendar and Assistant. The author enjoys being able to say “What are my tasks today?” to Assistant and have tasks show up in Calendar. However, the author notes that Tasks still does not integrate well with multiple Google accounts.
I had no idea it existed…
I’ve had Pixels since the first one, this is news to me.
It’s also integrated with Gmail on the web, so maybe they’re assuming everyone has noticed.
Sorta same. Pixel 7 here and it’s my first non-apple/samsung phone so I messed around a lot on it discovering features and I didn’t know about tasks. I knew you could set reminders in the calendar but I honestly thought it was a calendar-specific thing
If you use google assistant to set reminders you now use tasks.
I only know this because I heavily use reminders, and my pixel 5 kept annoying me to tell me reminders are being converted to tasks and will live there now
They removed “reminders” and lowercase-t “tasks” from the Calendar and replaced them with Tasks
