The Tasks App gives users a single destination to keep track of important tasks in Google Workspace and to bring in all reminders from Inbox/Gmail, Spaces, Calendar, and Assistant under one roof. Tasks can be accessed from the right-hand add-on panel in Gmail and Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
To make Tasks the "one-stop shop" for all your upcoming reminders and tasks, Tasks include the ability to set a date and time for tasks and to receive notifications; create repeating tasks; and import reminders into Tasks.
After creating or editing a task, you can see an 'Add date/time' field, where you can set a date and time when a task is due, as well as set it to repeat if necessary.
Users see a prompt to copy existing reminders over to tasks after opening Tasks on the web or the iOS and Android Tasks app. Users can select the Tasks list they want to add reminders to, or create a new list for them. And there'll be a prompt to delete reminders once they've been copied to Tasks.
The imported reminders include reminders from Inbox/Gmail, Calendar, or the Assistant and will carry across the same details for the title, date, time, and recurrence of the old reminder. Google notes this is a one-time import, not a constant sync.
Additionally, the new Tasks created with a date and start time will also show up in the Google Calendar on the web at the time the task was set to. However, the 'Tasks' calendar needs to have been enabled for these to appear in Calendar.
Also, users of the Tasks mobile app will now get notifications of each task on the date and time they were allocated for, again only if notifications have been enabled.
Google Tasks will now automatically respect the system default setting when it’s set to “Dark” on iOS 13. Dark theme is a popular feature, as it creates a better viewing experience in low-light conditions and preserves battery life. This feature is already available on Android.
