Google makes managing tasks easier with this new calendar feature
Google has introduced a new feature for its Calendar app on Android that aims to make managing tasks easier. The app allows users to create tasks, edit them with details, create subtasks, and use them with Google Workspace products like Gmail and Calendar, synced across devices. The company introduced full-screen to-do lists on the web last year and the same experience is now rolling out to Android smartphones. The rollout allows users to get a complete overview of all their tasks and to-do lists.
This development specifically builds on the recent integration of Agenda into Gemini, Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) assistant.
Full screen to-do lists in Google Calendar
Google detailed Calendar’s new functionality in a blog after. The Mountain View-based tech company said users can now access full-screen to-do lists through the Google Calendar app for Android. This is claimed to make the processing of viewing and managing tasks on the go easier.
The feature appears as a check mark on the Google Calendar home screen, next to the user profile and Today View icons. It has three tabs: My tasks, TravelAnd +New list. It allows users to see their upcoming and completed tasks, and create new lists in a single window.
Google says full-screen to-do lists in Google Calendar will be available to Google Workspace users, Google Workspace Individual customers, and users with personal Google accounts. It is being rolled out to both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains.
Updates to Drive Android file chooser
In addition to the full-screen view in Google Calendar, the company is also introducing an improved Drive Android file picker for Android devices. Google says it makes accessing recently viewed Drive items easier. Additionally, users can quickly view items shared in Drives, My Drive, and other storage locations.
This functionality has already been rolled out to Rapid Release domains and will be launched to Scheduled Release domains from December 2.
